Facebook Knows What You Did Last Summer

They say a picture says a thousand words. 

Well, when it's a screenshot of the legalese in a privacy policy or a terms of use agreement, they aren't kidding.

Here's a brief lesson in Facebook personal privacy, told thru pictures... that is, thru screenshots of Facebook's privacy policy agreement, your privacy settings, & Facebook app opt-out defaults. 

... and just remember, your mom & your ex-girlfriend may be watching.

Facebook Privacy Settings

Facebook Core Principle(s): Share Your Info!

Facebook: The Information We Collect = What U Know, What U Don't Know, & What You Don't Know You Don't Know. Riiiiiight.

Facebook 3rd Party Information Sharing: What Do Facebook Apps Know About You?

Facebook App Checkbox Defaults: These Aren't The Droids You're Looking For... Move Along... Move Along.

Keep Me Logged In = Access My Info  (whenever, wherever)

I did a similar post like this a while back: http://internetducttape.com/2007/03/08/how-to-use-facebook-without-losing-your-job-over-it/

It's pretty amazing how Facebook defaults to SHARE EVERYTHING! all the time.

One thing to watch for is that whenever they add new features the privacy defaults to "wide-open".

I hereby acknowledge my $0.02 debt - doh!
