FACEBOOK'S MARCH ON PRIVACY

摘要

May 31, 2010, Was Quit Facebook Day. But although only around 35,000 of the 500 million Facebook users pledged to quit Facebook on Memorial Day, there's clearly a sense of unease stirring with the social network's strategy. Congress has called for Facebook to explain its stance on the collection and sharing of user information (see epic.org/privacy/facebook), and a spate of high-profile tech experts have given up their accounts following the recent changes to the company's policies. Regular people have also started seriously to weigh the benefits of Facebook against the potentially high cost of loss of privacy.
