Zuckerberg’s cavalier approach towards people’s private data, or some people’s completely unrealistic expectations of security.

There are people who want to be able to post very personal things that should only ever be shared with a closed group of trusted friends, yet still seem to expect everyone else but them to take responsibility for shielding them from the consequences if their mum, boss or psycho ex reads that comment.

I also get the feeling that I’m using it in a way the providers don’t intend. I want to use it to talk to/ find out about people that I already know face to face. I don’t want to use it as a race to get an infinite amount of ‘friends’ that I’ve not met socially but who just happen to like the same prog bands as me.
