Facebook Retreats

November 30, 2007 Tim Peterson Leave a comment Go to comments

New York Times article detailing Facebook’s response to privacy criticisms concerning Facebook’s practice of broadcasting Facebook users’ purchasers to other Facebook members.  As the article details, Facebook is trying to cash in on the popularity of Facebook without damaging the popularity.

The article points out a paradox of younger internet users – many broadcast details of their own lives in an almost exhibitionist manner, but want to maintain control over what is made public, even over purchasing decisions.
