"I’m sorry, what the frack just happened? I turned over my friend list, photos and status updates to everyone in the world? Why on earth would anyone do that with their Facebook page?

The entire purpose of Facebook since inception has been to share your information with a small group of people in your private network."

I don't know, maybe it's just me: I've always assumed that anything that I put on the Internet will be known to anyone. I've never turned on any of these privacy settings, and I'm pretty okay with that.

I can see why others may want to. But I don't.

Maybe I've been on Twitter for too long.




I put my mail on the internet (in gmail) and I'd prefer it stayed private.


Do you PGP sign and encrypt it all? Because otherwise, it's pretty public.


Google seems intent to take it a step further: if you have something you want to hide don't post it on the internet at all.
