And You're Surprised How?

Got some wall notes and read some on-line news regarding the harvesting of your photos for Facebook wall ads to friends. Checking, it seems the default is "no use", but it was worth a quick check.

I'll say it again -- post only what you want everyone to know about you, even in "privacy" areas. You gave away your copyright in exchange for the software and system usage on Facebook, or any other system.

If you work from the assumption that everything you post could be on the front page of the New York Times AND added to your personal dossier at some cube-shaped, three or four letter acronym building just outside the Washington DC beltway, you don't have to spend a lot of time worrying about privacy.

Don't call me paranoid -- you don't have any absolute privacy once you join the digital network. Period.
