Fuck Facebook ή απλά Fuck τους εαυτούς σας

There’s a privacy breach of sorts underway on Facebook right this minute - and it involves your phone number.

But before you go blaming Facebook for this one - and, yes, the company should share in the blame - we, the users, are the ones who deserve a slap on the hand this time. The Los Angeles Times today profiled a new service called Evil, which scours public Facebook pages for phone numbers and then exposes all but the last three digits, along with the person’s name and Facebook picture on a Web page.

If you’ve ever typed your phone number on a Facebook wall, maybe as part of a small group or just to tell a friend to call you, it could be out there for anyone on the Web - even non-Facebook members - to see, depending on the privacy settings in place for that wall.

That’s where Facebook’s share of the blame comes in. Facebook has once again compromised user’s privacy settings by not only making the process more complex but by making it an opt-out process, instead of opt-in. Users may not necessarily be aware that their wall page is set for everyone - the entire Internet - to see. So when they announce to their friends that they’ve lost their phone on a Facebook wall and friends reply by posting their phone numbers… well, you end up on Evil.com.

ΠΟΛΥ σωστά. Φταίνε ΚΑΙ οι χρήστες του Facebook. Όχι επειδή απλά πληκτρολογούν τα προσωπικά τους στοιχεία όπου να ναι στο Διαδίκτυο αλλά επειδή πάνω απ' όλα χρησιμοποιούν το Facebook ΑΚΟΜΗ ΚΑΙ ΣΗΜΕΡΑ "επειδή όλοι είναι εκεί".

Φταίω εγώ μετά που σας λέω μπεεεε;

ΟΥΣΤ!
