Today we see the latest iteration of this--Face Recognition. By adjusting its interface, Facebook has now enabled "tag suggestions" to many more of its users around the world, which means your friends will get an alert if someone uploads a photo that Facebook thinks contains your image. They'll be invited to tag it, and then your ID's associated with that image. Sounds neat in some ways, and there are a few privacy nods thrown in--Facebook notes that only friends can tag you, you'll get notified of the tag, you can remove tags and so on. But the system is actually turned on by default--which is Facebook's privacy boundary creep in action.

HOW TO: Get Your Data Out of Google One of the best things about the Internet and the proliferation of social media and cloud computing services is that more and more information is tied to a server — not an individual device. That means you can easily access your e-mail, calendar and contact lists while away from home. Instead of having to carry your photos with you, you can just open up Flickr or Facebook when you want to show off some shots to friends or family members. The downside is that getting information out of one online service provider and onto another (or just archiving for your own benefit) is often difficult or impossible. Google, a company that stores lots of data for lots of people, today announced the Google Data Liberation Front.

Zuckers! Facebook Has Secretly Been Giving User Info to Cops - Technology We've told you before that Facebook treats its users like products. That companies now exist to search for your Facebook account and tell your bosses your secrets. That people are quitting Facebook en masse. Now, there's yet another reason you might want to make the switch to Google+: Facebook has gotten into the habit of allowing police to scour users' profiles without their consent. According to a new report from Reuters and Westlaw, federal judges have granted at least 24 search warrants since 2008 allowing law enforcement officials to snoop around people's Facebook accounts.
