Unfortunately, there are still tons of Facebook scams out there…There is a new iPhone app recently released, called Scam Detector, which exposes like 500 scams. It is worth checking it out, if you have an iPhone. The app is also online - they have a free web version, if interested. Google it, it's kinda cool, actually.

this is merely a ploy designed to placate users, when all the while Zuckerberg & Company funnels all info through Carnivore and other law enforcement/intelligence scanning mechanisms. The reality is that there's little truth to what FB ever tells or "informs" you, as the truth is it owns everything ever posted by any/all persons, and it retains sole legal right to do with it as it pleases. THAT is part of what you agree to when you sign up! A scam by any other name is still a scam.

Vote yes, decide no. How many times do you get to vote? I could write a routine to vote for my choice every 2 seconds all day every day.

Of course they could just let each user customize their own privacy settings.
