another reason why i dont use facebook. a huge "social networking" website, all i see is a huge red target, for hackers, and companys to spy on people.

now lets take a look at facebook, what can u do on facebook,
Play facebook games, yippie, and also post what you day is like or whatever else ya want. .....so what who really cares.... what else... lets see.. ummm... well you can... wait no u cant... ummm... oh yea,, post pictures,,, which has already been an issue with that too, with finding out where you are located if people dont want you to know... all i see is huge security risks with your self.

Options for users to preserve the privacy standards they have established have become confusing, impractical, and unfair
Okay, confusing, absolutely. Impractical, yes because they frequently don't work. UNFAIR? Are you on crack? Who in their right mind expects anything to be fair? At this point, based on the history of Facebook which is public information, no one should have any expectation of privacy on Facebook. They give information away for free when no one asks for it. I expect the government has a full access pass to Facebook, without warrents of course. Who in their right mind would trust Facebook to secure any informtaion?
