Today I tried to login to Facebook only to find my page covered with a message from Facebook that made a very serious attempt to force me to add information THAT IT CHOSE to my profile. There have been some terrible
rumors about Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg regarding his ethical values, and his attempts to violate user privacy, and maybe that is what we are seeing manifested in his unrestrained attempts to foist his virtual imperial will on unsuspecting users. I am a power web user, and it took me some time to figure out how to defeat this dishonest ploy. Many social network users would just accept it in order to maintain relationships with family and friends. The only thing missing was a message from the mob saying, "If you want to communicate with your family again, you will do as I say. Hand over your personal information!"
Anyone esle ready for a new social networking platform?
