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."

So you are pretty much stealing content. It's not free; it costs a lot to make and they nicely provide it to you without a cash transaction if you can just sit through a few advertisements. But instead, you treat it like they are infringing on your "rights" and block the only thing that might make them money.
