Not respecting privacy settings, is one of the main criticisms which FaceBook
has had to face and answer in the past few months here in the US.
As has been said before, what you write in emails, in Tweets using Twitter and
on yours and other people's walls using FaceBook, never goes away.
Also, remember, everything you post on-line, gets filtered by just about every
security agency in every country. Also, remember that companies and
corporations also monitor social network sites, not only to gather information
about current employees, but also to gain information about potential employees.
Remember, "big brother is watching".
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

On the surface, this isn't a JAWS question, but I wonder if visually impaired
users can tell via our screenreader just how much Facebook compromises privacy.
After everything I'd read in the media to caution me, I asked the proverbial
sighted assistant to help me create a page. I have no desire to advertise, but
I'd found that without a Facebook account, I couldn't gain access to events and
information posted by Facebook users I know. Despite all the care we took to
maximize privacy during the sign-up process, Facebook reached into my address
book and notified several contacts that I'd joined. I got a flurry of touching
requests to befriend these contacts. I replied to all these people
off-Facebook and explained my reservations about posting anything on this
website. In my case, so far no harm done, but it could have been very awkward.
Just know that what Cy and Dave warn is only the tip of the iceberg.

Hi,
You *MUST* remember that anything you post on Face Book is public and is
available to anyone.
Even though you may mark things as private they really are not.
There are folks out there who fish face book just looking for such news so
they know who is not home.

Not a good idea to let anyone know you're not going to be home. So if you
can't trust FB then send out E-mail directly only to your trusted friends.

Howdy Facebook users,
Does anyone know if on Facebook, one can write something to only a select
group of people without having to post it as an event?
For instance, I want to let my friends from my home town know that I'll be
going to visit but don't need to let all of my other friends know so as not to
clutter up things on their end.
I thought of doing it as an event, but that's probably not the way to go. The
group is large enough.
Any ideas?
Jim
