"settings are quite easy to adjust"
ok, say that to the little kids using facebook, who have now found their profiles turned PUBLIC :S

It's a lack of respect for everyone.
Eve though you set everything to the highest privacy setting you could get, people still can see your PROFILE PIC and the pages you are fan of :S

This is ridiculous..

What's the point of privacy of I can't decide what to show and what not? :S

Facebook ought to be ashamed at this vile betrayal of all those who helped make it a success. I personally have complained to my governments privacy watchdog, to whom facebook already has a made a commitment to keep privacy level high.

That's how I like my privacy settings.

I'm always looking for new jobs and find that having my 'pants around my ankles' when it comes to security on Facebook, helps people make the right kind of contact with me. It acts like a kind of sweet-recruitment-lube, I find.

The privacy settings are quite easy to adjust, just takes a bit of common sense.

Rememeber that facebook is a free service its not your facebook its facebooks's profile on you!

Dont like it leave it, when you joined a social site like this, it was your choice to share information.

Facebook is just a fad, it will fade just like twitter until the next new thing comes out.
