Facebook to Get Booked Right in the Face

Home >> Facebook to Get Booked Right in the Face

Posted by Paul Gibson
Privacy is a growing concern in today's world and Facebook's young CEO Mark Zuckerberg will be the first one to find that out, as his daring ploy to include Facebook in virtually every corner of the Internet may come back to "book him right in the face."

Yes, he is smart, intelligent and technically speaking, a computer genius, but Mark Zuckerberg is going to learn a very tough lesson about computer technology – Privacy.

If Facebook can not come up with a new way to sell their privacy protection plan, there are a number of groups that have already filed lawsuits against the company, citing privacy and security concerns.

You might think it is just jealousy… and you might be half right. But on the other hand, engineering crafty authorisations for people to view or not view your user profile does not protect you or the information you post.

Just the other day, I was going to include a video and share it with others, and a message pops up warning me that if someone views this video, they will have access to my list of friends --- in other words, no blindcopy feature like in email.

The problem arises when someone actually hits that button and starts sending out details of their lives to people they don’t know.

Do you believe Facebook should “get booked” (be judged in court, accused of crimes) for violating privacy rights?
