msnbc.com - 100 million Facebook users' details published online
MSNBC reports: "The personal details of 100 million Facebook users have been collected and published online in a downloadable file, meaning they will now be unable to make their publicly available information private. However, Facebook downplayed the issue, saying that no private data had been compromised."

MSNBC - Another ugly reminder to check your Facebook settings — NOW!
MSNBC reports: "It's not like Facebook provides worst-case scenarios. Though, it's hardly surprising that a bunch of huge corporations may be downloading all that info posted on Pirate Bay, as Gizmodo reported today [...] including Disney, Church of Scientology, Halliburton, Lucasfilm, Procter & Gamble, Sega, the United Nations and a whole heck of a lot more."

Comment: The first news article talks about what was done and why Facebook is once again in the headlines and the second report explains why Facebook will always be in trouble over the privacy issue...and what you should do about it. If you want to leave digital footprints for corporations and governments to follow, then these new social services should not worry you. However, if you value your privacy, you should think twice about giving control of your data to others whose sole motivation is to sell it. Oh, and by the way, you won't even get a share of the profits when they sell your data.
