Facebook and their privacy policies

Hello All, 

Firstly with my SW hat on, I would like to start with a comment stating how I do think that facebook's work on the opengraphprotocol is great, and the fact that they are including and using SW tech is great news for the community. Well done to all involved. I mean, who cares if the schema wasn't there from the outset, or that the data required more bnodes, you can always run CONSTRUCT queries to turn the data into a form you are happy with...

And now with my privacy hat on, the below article highlights the change in flavour of facebook's privacy policy over the years. I recall that I joined facebook because of the fact that it was promoted as a super private network, but alas this feature seems to be eroding away year by year. 

Happy reading :
