www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/05/12/business/facebook-privacy.htmlFacebook has changed its Privacy Policy once again - and should at some point consider calling it a Non-Privacy Policy. If you are concerned about privacy and you are a Facebook user, you have your work cut out for you. The most time consuming part of protecting your information is the blocking of third party applications. (This requires individually blocking the applications like Farmville, Mafia Wars - etc.) Even if you don't use the apps, your information is shared through your friends who do. Blocking the apps is supposed to close this lane of Facebooks information sharing highway. Also, if you use facebook on an encrypted wireless network, there is an application for Firefox and Mozilla that will require facebook to connect using HTTPS rather than HTTP. Caveat - chat will not work. If you are a privacy nut - check it out.

There is a simple solution to this though. Don't post anything and everything about yourself on Facebook. When editing your profile or uploading photos and videos, consider whether you really want what you are about to post to be public. You also don't have to have every little bit of your personal information posted there, so even if an application gets its hands on your info, you can make sure it doesn't get anything you don't want it to.
