Facebook security 'glitch' reveals Mark Zuckerberg's private photos | Mail Online
Funny, sure.

But he's a billionaire. So, like he gives a flying fuck about the consequences of a few private photos leaking out. And based on the leaked photos, he's smart enough to know not to post anything on Facebook he doesn't want to be online. So why aren't you doing this?

Editorial: Facebook’s new sharing is anything but ‘frictionless’ | This is my next...
Moneyquote: "It doesn’t take much thought to see why people concerned about things such as privacy would begin to make the association between Bentham’s panopticon and the encouraged over-sharing of modern social networks: the mind adjusts to a way of feeling watched over in perpetuity. However, I think the connection between applications such as Rdio and Facebook are the first concerted steps by Facebook to actively implement the digital panopticon. You see, “frictionless” sharing is code for sharing constantly, without editing or choice beyond that initial click which creates the first, most important connection. What I find unsettling about it is the mental change that must come with the knowledge that, as I sit at my computer, day in day out, listening to music (which I do all day, every day), someone is likely aware of what it is I’m listening to. It’s this knowledge, both alluring and disconcerting, that I am watched (and in many ways not alone) when I am, in fact alone. Facebook’s intentions are not at issue here: the action (and the result) is what matters."
