For example: He’s spoken wistfully about the desire to get people over the “hurdle” of wanting to preserve some semblance of privacy online.He’s proclaimed that social norms on privacy have changed, and that Facebook is merely reacting to these shifting norms.His remarks also often reveal his failure to recognize the complexity of the issues of privacy — and trust — between users and Facebook. But, today, I found a new statement that brings Zuckerberg’s hubris to a new level. SocialBeat has a very thoughtful piece urging Zuckerberg to be forthright and explain what he truly and genuinely believes about privacy. While searching for evidence of Zuckerberg’s broader philosophy of information, a passage from David Kirkpatrick’s forthcoming book, The Facebook Effect, is quoted:

Last night I met a man who walked to the edge of the cliff and nearly deactivated his Facebook account. He took a screenshot of what he saw after clicking the "deactivate my account" link on his account page - and it is pretty far-out. That man considered quitting Facebook because it was having an adverse emotional impact on him and I'll spare him and his contacts from posting the screenshot he shared with me.

Facebook users who choose not to link their user accounts to Facebook's public Pages are ending up with blank profiles containing no information at all.

The team behind Mozilla's Firefox browser announced today the availability of experimental code that website owners can add to their pages to allow site visitors to create an account, log-in or switch users with just a few simple clicks and no password to remember.

The Mozilla technology is called Account Manager and is intended to become an open specification that any other browser can build on top of as well. Supporting browsers will automatically generate and remember diverse, high-strength passwords for users and allow multiple users to switch easily between accounts when visiting common websites on one computer. The interface mock-ups looks really nice, too. Big brother s'attaque aux réseaux sociaux. 01net.

Now that Facebook is loosening its data-sharing policies with third-party Web sites and applications, it's the perfect time for users to consider tightening up their privacy settings.

The word “open” alone should be a tip-off that there are significant new privacy issues to weigh. In the open graph, Facebook sees us as connected not just to other people – our friends — on Facebook, but to myriad things all over the Web. These things could be favorite bands, news outlets or restaurants. It is a potentially powerful idea – Facebook wants to uncover all these interests and predilections and let us share them with our friends, whether we are at Facebook or somewhere else, in ways that could deepen personal connections and help us discover cool and interesting information.

They are perusing photos and comments made on the sites of claimants and witnesses to see if they tally with statements made to insurance companies. In some cases investigators are uncovering photos showing people who claim to have injuries preventing them from working doing activities such as skiing.

Facebook's notable announcements this week range from a holistic vision of a seamless, semantically-enabled Web of human relationships, to a simple "Like" button, which will soon be omnipresent on the Internet.
