Facebook, The Evil Empire?

If you follow my News & Links feed you’ll have noticed an anti-Facebook meme. I won’t repeat all the evil, privacy-violating things Facebook does (below are some links, see for yourself). I’ll just add that I’m in agreement with those who think Facebook is not a good steward of personal information. I’ve been keeping much of mine off Facebook since I started using it. I use it only as another way for folks to access this blog and to find a few old friends. When I do find old friends, we switch our communication over to e-mail at my request. Facebook is not to be trusted.
