Facebook's Plan To Automatically Share Your Data

Giosuele sends in this excerpt from TechCrunch: "In anticipation of a slew of new features that will be launching at f8, today Facebook announced that it was once again making changes to its privacy policy. One of the biggest changes that Facebook is making involves applications and third-party websites. We've been hearing whispers from multiple sources about these changes, and the announcement all but confirms what Facebook is planning to do. In short, it sounds like Facebook is going to be automatically opting users into a reduced form of Facebook Connect on certain third party sites — a bold change that may well unnerve users, at least at first."

    Certainly it is. Even if you are "opted-in", you can then "opt-out".

    But it's irrelevant.

    Most of the people bitching about this don't use FB. The people who do either don't care or "opt-out" as they are free to do.

    It's a non-issue.
