Bit by bit, Facebook is revealing its sinister and controlling side. Let this be a warning, along with every other one the NY Times and other media outlets continually sound, that facebook and other “social networking” sites are corporations who are only in existence to make money from their users’ data. They are not loving, warm, touchy-feely wirtual coffee houses. They will use you and your personal information to line their own pockets. Buyer beware.
— New York Times reader John F, commenting on the launch of “Facebook Places”
