    I believe Facebook’s argument isn’t that a user’s information is “safe” within Facebook, but that the Internet itself is “safe.” And I couldn’t disagree more. It’s a shame Facebook doesn’t take more seriously privacy issues that keep so many out of the conversation.

    This whole topic can be avoided if we all start using two accounts each: a real-name stripped-down account to use as a means for people to find us, and a pseudonymous ‘just for fun’ account where actual posting and ‘facebooking’ occurs.

    It’s a shame Facebook/Zuckerberg are forcing us to do this. I liked it better when a drastic measure like this didn’t seem necessary.

Have something to say?
