Didn't even look. Not because I have facebook blocked with my security appliance here at work, but because I kinda knew that's what was going to happen.
To me, if they were going to have defaults voted on... that would be at least a step in the correct direction. For example, if pages were completely closed down by default and you had to go in and specify what type of data you want to share... rather than wide open.
In the past, these "privacy" settings I swear change without notice, and I've had info shared just because they changed their options, and I was on them that minute to notice their subtle change....... I'm going back to MySpace. I felt a hell of alot safer there. XD
I agree with you, actually. What the hell I was talking about was the illusion that FaceBook may give their population by "voting?" As the comment before stated, do not post anything on facebook that you do not want out there forever. That's partly what I was talking about. The other issue of this ties in with the ownership of content, and how privacy is kinda thrown by the wayside when whatever you post on facebook doesn't technically belong to you anymore.
For a time, I didn't use facebook. Now when or if I do, it's for limited communication. I do not "check in", or post undoctored photos.
Thanks for your comment though.:)
I believe they wanted to make it clear that if you operate against the industrial war machine, this could happen to you.
It's not like we have a special place that we put people without a trial or anything..... oh...
To me, if the government is given the ability to call something it isn't in order to get what it wants, it will this section is what concerns me in this fashion:
"(a) PRESIDENTIAL NOTIFICATION. - Upon notification to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Intelligence Committees and Homeland Security Committees by the President of the United States, or his designee, of an existential threat to the Internet, the President may, for the purposes of addressing this threat, allow agencies to promulgate rules that have otherwise been suspended by this Act."
Disagree with me, and you are a "terrorist". Have a nice day/.:)

To be honest, there is NOTHING that makes me think of privacy when using FaceBook. To me... there privacy is an illusion, nothing more.
