Facebook Calls All-Hands Meeting On Privacy

CWmike writes "A Facebook spokesman said that the company will hold an all-staff meeting on Thursday to discuss privacy issues, but would not say whether executives are looking to make significant changes to the popular site's highly contentious privacy policies following a bevy of changes to the service." (More, below.) "In an interview with Computerworld last week, Ethan Beard, director of the site's developer network, defended Facebook's policies and even said users love the changes that Facebook has made. However, it seems calls for people to delete their Facebook accounts, which have gathered momentum, have not fallen on deaf ears at the company. Adding to the perception of a crisis on hand, the NY Times profiled on Wednesday a project called Diaspora, which is creating a more private, decentralized alternative to Facebook."

I have never liked or respected Zuckerberg, he is delusional and dangerous......but in the meantime I have removed everything from my profile and have suggested others do the same.

Me too. Zuck is a dick. It should be Zuckerberg / Fucker-nerd - Dick Book.or just Dickless.

If my friends can't be arsed to grab my name off the contact list on their cellphone or their e-mail, then they ain't much worth having. I actually hang out with my friends, too; so if they feel that I'm not a friend just because I don't have a Facebook, then they can go eat a shoe. It's only been around for a few years, and I'm not about to have my friendships marginalized away just because I hopped off that bandwagon.
