- pingpants, on 06/20/2009, -1/+34The words 'Facebook' and 'lobbyist' are spine-chilling.
- Alwaysandnever, on 06/20/2009, -0/+21Privacy has a price, apparently.
- ForumDriv, on 06/20/2009, -0/+18Tim is one of the smartest lawyers in Washington. He helped identify E-verify's massive failures. Facebook's gain, but ACLU's loss.
- wannaBdug, on 06/20/2009, -0/+15Big brother wants to freind you on Facebook.
- Lederhosed, on 06/20/2009, -0/+11Wow. That's quite an about face.
- atlasdugged, on 06/20/2009, -0/+10I hope myspace is paying attention!
- mrfuzz, on 06/20/2009, -1/+9Big brother is my best fiend.
- Dumbledorito, on 06/21/2009, -0/+5I didn't like Privacy Hawk's skateboarding games as much as the originals. All-indoor parks with the doors shut and the blinds drawn just made it sad. The framerate was better, but still...
- uc1digger, on 06/20/2009, -1/+5They must pay attention to it, first of all they are keep getting decreased users, if they won't pay attention they will loose the edge in SN
- bakaoni, on 06/21/2009, -0/+2Live by the sword, die by the sword.
The good news is that Facebook has a privacy lobbyist. The bad news is that they have a lobbyist, lobbying is still legal and that lobbying goes on the way it does. - SaladCactusKing, on 06/21/2009, -0/+2Freedom costs a buck oh five.
- orangefly, on 06/21/2009, -0/+2i hope your penis falls off....
- pieoncar, on 06/21/2009, -0/+1WTF? It's spelled T-O-N-Y, not "privacy".
- gcnaddict, on 06/21/2009, -1/+2Having said that, I should note that I don't support the rather paranoid and unsubstantiated viewpoint gilbes carries. I merely wanted to point to the fact that your retort was already covered by his original statement.
- ralphthemagi, on 06/21/2009, -1/+2What are they getting away with? Everything is user-submitted. You don't have to be on Facebook. And even if you are, you don't have to put up anything personal.
- Rugmeister, on 06/21/2009, -0/+0***** - it's not about "building beltway clout."
It's all about defanging the legitimate concerns of the public! - bob3, on 06/21/2009, -1/+1CAAAABBBBBAAAGGEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- gcnaddict, on 06/21/2009, -2/+2Right. He covered what you said with his last sentence.
- IronDuke83, on 06/21/2009, -1/+0I miss old Facebook and all of it's horrible lack of safety.
- louiebaur, on 06/21/2009, -1/+1Yes it is!
- inactive, on 06/21/2009, -1/+0what do you expect. lawyers are in it for #1 first, then other lawyers second, it doesnt matter what their job currently is, even "president"
- ryanonfire, on 06/21/2009, -0/+0I'm not surprised given the imminent government interference coming to a website near you :P http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jun ...
- walker4bc, on 06/21/2009, -0/+0Wow, is that a case of selling out or using years of experience for the good of everyone? Hmmmm....
- gilbes, on 06/21/2009, -10/+1Facebook has an agenda. And it is not in your interest.
Trusting Facebook is like a 40s German Jew thinking he was being put on a free trade ride to summer camp for a nice vacation.
Inappropriate comment? Absolutely. But so is the ***** Facebook is getting away with, and the direction they are heading. Conspiracy idiots think we will all be chipped and bar-coded. The truth is, people will willing sign away their lives and privacy based on very clever exploitation of social pressures.
