However, when the privacy options were changed, ALL our information went public, from photos, to emails, wall comments, I mean EVERYTHING. This move on part of the facebook team was almost as if they were taunting and making fun of us To explain. I am being stalked by a very sick individual. I have taken ever precaution, to make sure my profile, picture nothing, is visible. To my surprise, when I logged into my Facebook account after I got home from work, which meant my profile was open all day, I found out that everything was public for that day. This stalker has now all my information, access to my photos that she uses to impersonate me etc. Sadly some users have not found out how to go put back all their privacy options. This was a very bad idea on the Facebook teams move, it was as if they did this on purpose. If you are going to change our privacy options then you should make everything private and let us know of the options that we can open our profiles to be more public. Unfortunately it is too late for me, and there are no laws against stalkers that can help me. So thanks Facebook for your co-operation! I was happy to hear that someone was looking out for us!

My biggest concern with Facebook are also 3rd party applications and their access to information once installed. Once you click that "Allow" button when you install a new application it feels you're giving up too much, regardless of whether I am or not. I think that if Facebook would clarify what kind of information or give the ability to choose what kind of information the 3rd parties have access to, that would be a step in the right direction. Cheers - Jose. Congratulations on the media coverage! …and on such a hot topic.
