This damned faked privacy chain letter on Facebook, again...


Falling up again on some facebook news on privacy (fake or real, see link news.cnet.com), if required, would have to get mine in a different way:

"Upon my profiles on facebook, you can use, tamper, adapt, delete, create anything from what's in it, I simply don't care. I am standing by my choices in life, these are certainly not starting from things I posted, aware of it, on facebook, and will certainly not end here." and well, they've got to make some money somewhere, given it's really a hot balloon made of not that much more than what common sense would say."

Well, given you have landed here, have a look around. Try this one, or this one. As a writer, I am left in the confusion of being or telling, and forget...euh... giving hence digital won't grasp much more of the nonsense my mind creates at every minutes of every secondes.

"A widely shared status update on Facebook claims you need to post a disclaimer to keep the site from ripping off your data. Too bad it's completely bogus. Read this article by Elinor Mills on CNET News.

Here's the text of that bogus privacy notice circulating on Facebook:
For those of you who do not understand the reasoning behind this posting, Facebook is now a publicly traded entity. Unless you state otherwise, anyone can infringe on your right to privacy once you post to this site.
