all I said is the fat, bribe taking (yes they recently legalized acepting money from forgien companies) Senators should get their arse to work on real issues and not worry about people volunteering their persoal info. I mean wtf I've never been censored here before. or did the CIA take over your site and start blocking truths?

"Facebook currently requests that its users opt-out of some of its more controversial options, and shares a range of personal information with partner sites automatically by default. This should be reversed, the Senators said, so that people have to choose to opt-in instead."

HEY SENATORS why don't require the same for corporations and the U.S. Post Office.!!!!

When i open a bank account i soon get spam snail mail offers because I was never told I'm automatically opt-in for that bank to sell my info to others ! (unless I opt-out when i finally realize where they are getting my info from ,since the bank nevers tells me they are going to do this!)

When I get a phone, my name and number are automatically OPT-IN to phone directories and other places ( unless I pay extra every month for an unlisted number)

When I buy a house ,the post office sells my info to snail mail companies to fill my street mail box with junk ads and offers because they auto OPT-IN me ! (unless I go down to the post office and request a form to opt-out ,by which time it's too late becaused I've been added to snail-mail spam lists already! )

So get off your @SS Senators and get after these other AUTO OPT-IN info selling pukes too !!!!!!!!!

Article's subtitle should have been: "All Your Face are Belong to U.S.".

Four US senators in outlandish display of hipocrisy -the senators, who kept their mouths shut when the government wiretapped the entire nation now attacks a site where people voluntarily share information amongts themselves.

Facebook is a CIA/NSA data mining operation. They found a way to collect every single piece of information about you without having to do anything to get it. It's brilliant, really, people go on there and post everything about their lives willingly, and all the data is collected and filed.

Facebook has saved the data mining centers millions upon millions of hours of time they would have had to have spent collecting all that data themselves.

And the sooner we all get rid of it, the better off we'll be.
