Can you reply to [0]? Copying here:

>> You know, you're going on about the data that fb has... and yet you've just shared other peoples names all over the internet. (Unless you've changed them, as the font seems different in the photo?)

People's names are public. I don't see any issue with OP sharing them. There's no context at all.

You just illustrated the main issue here. People's names are public, true. Those people using to have a relationship with the op, both the fact that there was a relationship at some point and that there is no relationship atm, is NOT public info. That's not OPs information to give away.

This is the problem I have with the #deletefacebook thing, deleting facebook and even facebook disappearing all together is not going to make the world more secure, as most people seem to believe. There are many more companies that have data about you, for example did you ever wondered how many websites you use are using jquery from code.jquery.org cdn?

The info shared by OP might not affect any of the parties involved. So does most of the crap facebook "leaked". But what if that info is affecting somebody?

You might be pointing out that laws could be enacted to prevent this from happening. It's a fact that laws cannot keep up with technology.

The solution is to educate yourself about how online works, about what data means and then educate the persons around you about this.
