Re:Deserve Privacy? (Score 1)

To be honest, Facebook was never meant to be private. It gave people access to more of your details than MySpace or similar sites did because the purpose of it was going to be connecting you with people you knew in real life - initially, anyway. It asked you about your college or company and your full name at registration, and those were details you knew were going to be displayed. You filled in more, more was made public. It was the users' choice to post this information on the internet. Referring to internet banking, mentioned earlier - internet banking is a different kettle of fish entirely to social networking sites. You don't have to provide information if you don't want to, hell, nobody's forcing you to join the damn thing! I won't go into security problems with Internet banking here, but yes - you send out information, it doesn't just disappear into space. It is MEANT to safely land where it's destined to - and we can only hope this is what happens with online banking - but social networking sites were never big on security. After all, you're sharing a lot just by joining. Of course I don't want all my info to be publicly available - hence I don't post it.

Yes, it sucks.

But it hasn't surprised me in the least.
