Social networking is a great idea to connect people and find new friends all over the wold. But I think we should give the www not too much informations about us.

Thanks for the great info. Its amazing how often the very companies we trust violate our privacy. If only we knew about it every time...

You can just change your privacy settings back to fully private. It takes two seconds. What's the big deal?

I had no idea Facebook was doing this. Thanks for the heads up! I'll go mess around with my settings now.

Read the terms and conditions in order to find out if there was a change in the terms and conditions recently. what they have done is similar to taking your contacts in your phone and sharing them with everyone else on there and from what i can tell they didn't give a clear and precise warning about this or an option out i believe this to be a major breach of the Data Protection Act here in the UK. from terms and conditions
"You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:..." now if that wouldn't hold up in court, i'm not sure what would. facebook sold our private lives without asking... this is no different than stealing..

Only if you accepted Facebook's defaults when they popped up their ridiculous recommendations the second time they made mention of the privacy changes when you logged in. I said no thanks and went in and actually tightened up my permissions to be even less permissive than I had previously configured them.
