Busted! Facebook's privacy-policy shell game has finally shown up on the FTC's radar. Most of us have been bitching about the Facebook privacy policy changes, but we all kept our rancor confined to ranting at the screen, but the fine folks at the Electronic Privacy Information Center stepped up and actually filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.
The complaint is rather simple: Facebook didn’t provide adequate safeguards to protect privacy in last week’s update, changes that these privacy groups believe was illegal.

I'm for privacy rights...if one decides to participate in social media, then one should have the right to really know what's going on with one's profile and information, etc.--in other words, the corporation should not have the control. If that would be the case, then everybody should opt out!
