Facebook Adds Friend Stalker Tool

nk497 writes "Facebook has added a new tool that brings together conversations and photos between friends onto a single page, but — as usual — has crossed the creepy line. Not only does clicking the See Friendship tool let users view photos, comments and events shared between themselves and their friend, it also offers a search tool to do the same between any two mutual friends, making it easy to see everything any two people have ever said to each other Facebook. As usual, the site should have tested the function out on their users first, with one saying: 'I've always wanted this! And yes, I'm a creepy stalker.' Also, as usual for Facebook, all users are automatically opted in, and there's currently no obvious way to turn it off."

From another post I made in this thread:

1. If you engage in social activity with the kind of people that would post incriminating photos of you, you need to find a different group of friends.

2. If you engage in incriminating activities in a public place where other people can take photos of you, you need to be smarter about where you engage in incriminating activities.

Semantics? Fine.

Swap instances of "incriminating" in my post with "things you don't want an employer or family member to know about". For example: if you don't want an employer or family member to know you are drinking, don't go to public places whose entire purpose is to provide alcohol.

Or, you could just be "that guy" and /ragequit whenever someone takes a picture of you without your approval.
