[LIVEdigitally] There was a time when things like decency, self-respect, and privacy mattered, and that time was not too long ago. I'm not going to spend this post lamenting modern society abandoning the concept of self-respect, poise, decency, .

WARNING: Google Buzz Has A Huge Privacy Flaw
[Business Insider] The turn-off feature is all the way at the bottom in fine print (before you roll your eyes: would a credit card company - or Facebook for that matter - be forgiven this?) A couple of simple, consumer-partnership first steps could have saved Google this SAI article. I didn’t check my Gmail much until late in the day, saw this article, and was appalled to see several people “following me” on Buzz - and in my case, these were sensitive business relationships whom I don’t want announcing to whom else I work with.

Mozilla Labs » Blog Archive » Mozilla Privacy Forum
[Mozilla Labs] Mozilla is situated at an increasingly relevant space to facilitate the interaction between users and entities on the web. Firefox has 360 million users worldwide, and aside from the obvious use case of serving users the websites they desire, Mozilla is also positioned to become a revolutionary intermediary between the privacy policies of websites and the users themselves.

Facebook's Privacy Policy Produces Plea to FTC
[Andy Beal's Marketing Pilgrim] I think the big problem for Facebook is people posted information/data under previous understood levels of privacy that Facebook decided to change after the fact. Besides the deceptive presentation of more privacy controls that average users don’t fully appreciate the repercussions, notice was only available for those that happen to log on.

Facebook's New Privacy Changes: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly ...
[EFF.org Updates] if you don't want to share a particular piece of content with everyone, Facebook will argue, then just set the privacy level for that piece of content to something else. But we think the much safer option is to do the reverse: set your general privacy default to a more restrictive level, like "Only Friends," and then set the per-post privacy to "Everyone" for those particular things that you're sure you want to share with the world.

Privacy's about more than the paparazzi | Henry Porter | Comment ...
[Comment is free: Henry Porter's blog | guardian.co.uk] This is a very delicate area, but my feeling is that the privacy laws being made on the back of the HRA underline problems with the act because it guarantees nothing upfront but instead requires people to go to law to establish their rights. It would be much more effective to create a proper body of privacy legislation that specifies acts that illegally damage or compromise a person's privacy, and this would apply to the state, the press and the big corporations that gather and store personal details.
