Facebook's Plan To Automatically Share Your Data 142
Giosuele sends in this excerpt from TechCrunch:
"In anticipation of a slew of new features that will be launching at f8, today Facebook announced that it was once again making changes to its privacy policy. One of the biggest changes that Facebook is making involves applications and third-party websites. We've been hearing whispers from multiple sources about these changes, and the announcement all but confirms what Facebook is planning to do. In short, it sounds like Facebook is going to be automatically opting users into a reduced form of Facebook Connect on certain third party sites — a bold change that may well unnerve users, at least at first."

Do you realize in your attempt to go on a racist troll, you pretty much described the plot of Crocodile Dundee?
As for Facebook, all this means is that I have to double check that all the info I've given them is erroneous.

Hopefully they won't partner with adult sites...

What real life information really? (Score:5, Funny)
They know my full name and the name of my wife; my birthday and home town and a google email address. That's it. What's the big deal about that? It's not like they have access to any of my bank details, credit cards, NI number, passport number, or anything that would really cause me grief if it got into the wrong hands.
Stop making a mountain out of a mole hill. Sheesh !

I know exactly what you mean! I feel the same way about the telephone!
Sure you can use it to keep up with friends and family who live far away, but that's what letters are for. If you have real friends, they wont need this contrivance to maintain their friendship with you. And think about all the things you'll be able to talk about as if they were new if they come to visit. Ah the joys of limited connectivity!
And I mean, talk about annoying! I know that as soon as I install one in my house, it's gonna start ringing, interrupting work, interrupting dinner, interrupting sleep. And nine times out of ten it's going to be someone I don't know trying to sell me something I don't need. And what do you want to bet that the phone company isn't listening in?
That's why I say,
lose the telephone, you're (sic) life will improve

Really less than you'd think.
I started going by "PopeRatzo" after being nominated for an Oscar in the Best Supporting Actor Category in Twelve Monkeys back in '96 and told all my friends that I'd be going by that handle. This way, they realize it's me whenever I post on Facebook and I don't get bothered by fans or butter-face Jennifer Aniston.
Now you'll have to excuse me. Ange is coming out of the tub and wants me to give her a hot oil massage. But first I'll have to lock all those screaming effing back in their cages.
