chilly: Facebook's Cognitive Dissonance with Sharing »

Interesting read, but I disagree with the premise. Facebook pays a lot of lip service to privacy, but only tweaks things when the cattle, uh, users protesteth too much. In moving things around, they ‘open up more holes’, which, again, other users will protest about. It would appear that this is, as we would say in SQA, is ‘as designed.’

In one way Facebook reminds me of a slaughterhouse. When the cows get too nervous, they rejigger the fences. But the fundamental structure and the intended goal of the product — selling the end users — remains the same.
