Just when did it become an individual right to prevent people from looking at things you have voluntarily published?
Facebook is great, but I try to treat it like email. You never know who is going to end up with something after you send/post it, so be careful what you say.

"In a related story, German officials announced today the results of a survey that shows 81% of Germans do not know how to use Facebook's privacy settings."

LOL Spikez.
Yeah well some of us use our pen names on FB. And only trusted co-workers are our FB friends and we keep our privacy settings tightly tuned.
