Facebook Master Password Was "Chuck Norris"

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "A Facebook employee has given a tell-all interview with some very interesting things about Facebook's internals. Especially interesting are all the things relating to Facebook privacy. Basically, you don't have any. Nearly everything you've ever done on the site is recorded into a database. While they fire employees for snooping, more than a few have done it. There's an internal system to let them log into anyone's profile, though they have to be able to defend their reason for doing so. And they used to have a master password that could log into any Facebook profile: 'Chuck Norris.' Bruce Schneier might be jealous of that one."

    Your making one large assumption there, that face book is more important than a teenagers first website.

    Just because it has millions of users doesn't make it important, that site is essentially a recording of all the teenage girl conversations on the planet...aka, the most worthless data ever.

    The problem is that people pretend that it matters.

    Facebook is for attention whores who want other people to know details about their lives. Its fucking retarded to talk about privacy when the whole point is giving out your information.

    I know of 1 person with a facebook profile who isn't an attention whore, and they use it just so they can spy on others.

    No one with a facebook account has any room to bitch about privacy, those that do are just using a different method of attention whoring, either way the result is the same.

    The solution is relatively simple. Population control. I've also yet to meet anyone with a Facebook account that is actually useful to the world, so the next step would be to use the facebook account list to terminate a large number of morons.

    This much is for sure though...the only thing Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, and Jack Bauer can agree upon, is that Tom Cruise is a douchebag.
