I think using FB is fine, but I agree that the privacy setting should be higher by default, with option to opt for publicity.
If FB have a higher default privacy level, something like this wouldn't have happened:

Can't really depend on a 14 years old to fully understand privacy issues, can't blame her there. Also can't expect parents to be able to watch over every click a child does online. Can't expect the parents to block out Facebook with SW either. When it comes to large domains like Facebook, I think they have a degree of social responsibility in protecting their users. A higher default privacy setting isn't asking a lot IMO. |
