[Web4lib] Social utility sites

[Karen Van Godtsenhoven]

Dear all,

 

Positive positions towards Facebook as a social utility worry me a bit.
Has anyone read the following article on the collaboration of Facebook
with intelligence services?

I realize it's the user's choice whether or not to share his/her
personal info, but I think people should be made 'as aware as possible'
of the consequences of 'joining up'.

Or am I being  paranoid?

Thanks for sharing your opinion on this.
