Facebook makes Time Magazine’s Cover because of its privacy policy
May 20th, 2010 • Technology
From Mashable:
At first glance, the feature story appears less critical than the cover makes it out to be. But Fletcher lends a sharp eye to Facebook’s grand vision and enormous growth, and eventually concludes that Facebook is on the path to become “the Web’s sketchy Big Brother, sucking up our identities into a massive Borg brain to slice, dice and categorize for advertisers.”
All Facebook has to do to squelch this contorvesy is to let people have total, 100% control of their privacy settings. And considering that Facebook was running programs that determine who’s going to hook up with you, the concern over them being Big Brother is warranted.
