Posted by samzenpus on Thursday January 21, 2010 @03:56PM from the ad-nauseum-roundhouse dept.

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "A Facebook employee has given a tell-all interview with some very interesting things about Facebook's internals. Especially interesting are all the things relating to Facebook privacy. Basically, you don't have any. Nearly everything you've ever done on the site is recorded into a database. While they fire employees for snooping, more than a few have done it. There's an internal system to let them log into anyone's profile, though they have to be able to defend their reason for doing so. And they used to have a master password that could log into any Facebook profile: 'Chuck Norris.' Bruce Schneier might be jealous of that one."

Thanks Assholes. This was a great site THAT I NEEDED TO USE TODAY! AND NOW IT'S FUCKING SLASH DOTED. look, why is this on slashdot at all.A true DIYer would just Google "pinouts." Now their bandwidth is most likely used up for the month. This is it I am about two steps away from going cold turkey slashdot, it really has gone downhill. cmdtaco if you have not been replaced by robots WTF is going on.
