“Dear Facebook

Cancel my account.” Problem solved.

They are just convinced all of your information is theirs to publish as they wish. They seem to continually change the rules so you have to constantly “opt out” of their latest and greatest ideas to make your info public even after you said NO. Tried ‘em, canceled them within 6 mos.

Waste of time.

That's one of my biggest beefs with Facebook. They treat their users like a commodity. I've had to make changes to my account more than a few times to block one of their new 'features'.

It's a real irritation.

Actually according to the EULA people accept (and the EULA of almost every other audience participation website out there) everything you put on their website IS theirs to publish as they wish.

Of course in this case the warning is pure paranoid lies, none of that data is actually published without explicit permission of the user. But hey don’t let the facts get in the way of a tirade.
