I have recently left Facebook over privacy concerns. I had no idea about it but when I noticed its privacy issue I left using facebook. Facebook has always served us by giving us access and exposure to great clients.

Thanks for the really usefully and Interesting Informations about the “Facebook”. Really a great stuff.

have the boolean viewpoint to privacy that you discussed. privacy = 1 – (availability * accessibility), where availability is a boolean as to whether the raw data is out there and accessibility is a 0-1 factor of how easy it is to get to that raw data and draw conclusions from it. with the web, the accssibility factor is constantly changing. analogy — if i owned a house on a small quarter-acre lot surrounded by thousands of acres of unoccupied forest and i placed a big sign on the front of the house revealing some private information. the availability factor is a 1 because i’m exposing this data to the outside world (of course, one could argue that if the data is outside of your head, written or recorded

Sensitivities to trust issues seem to be waning in the general public (people are flocking to sign up in networks, especially Facebook, and share more granular details of their lives, what they eat, which products they love and so on). Sure, there will always be strong advocates for more privacy, but pinning down the web would be as difficult as well, pinning down a web.

Simple analogy for the facebook feed feature: sure, if you go out in public, anyone can see what you are doing. But you wouldn’t want someone walking behind you loudly announcing all your actions to the rest of world now would you?…

Two years ago, French TV CEO Patrick Le lay (TF1) said that his business was to prepare the brain of the TV viewers and sell TV ads.

” Il faut que le cerveau du téléspectateur soit disponible. Nos émissions ont pour vocation (…) de le divertir, de le détendre pour le préparer entre deux messages. ”

I think companies like Facebook and Gmail from the moment they use the content posted by their clients consider it as available material to be used by them, in the same way Le Lay thinks he owns the brains of the TV viewers.

To follow-up on with the concepts of your bright analysis, Le Lay has perfectly stated that the process is an invasion of privacy, in the very same way you mention it in your essay and Mr. Le Lay believes his job is to make the invasion a little more agreable, painless. facebook and the like by giving us a helping hand in arranging some far fetched material we would have never thought to gather withut their help -precisely-, does the same: they make it more agreable to us and less painful to accept the use of our social knowldedge for their profits.

Thanks to boingboing and Dan Gillmore to point to your work.
