Got this note today from a friend - you may wish to take a look at this if you're on Facebook:

Quote:
Apparently Facebook has started SELLING user information (surprise, surprise!) to third parties. They call it the "Facebook Development Platform."

To restrict use of your information, do the following:
Click "Privacy" on top right.
Under the "Facebook Platform" section click"Edit Settings".
Scroll down to the bottom and UNCHECK ALL of the items under facebook platform.

If you check any items, your name, networks, and list of friends will also be shared. If you uncheck all items, no information about you will be shared.

Most creepy is the inclusion of photographs!
(Do your friends a favor and repost this as your own note.)
Nothing ever ever comes for free - Facebook has to be earning income somehow.. So ... anyhow there ya go.
