Privacy, safety and security. Integrity.
As a utility service, consumers need to trust you. See this blog post on Facebook and its latest move.
Default settings should always be set on the highest level of security and then a communique should be sent to the user that says, ”If you want to broaden the network and be more ’public’ here is how you do it.”
But there is now an arms race to feed the Google algorithm. I recently Googled a good friend and I was shocked to see the first two entries for him were his Twitter tweets. Facebook wants in on this action so your newsfeeds to friends, pictures published and wall postings all go into the algorithms and are now public fodder. Unless you do something about it via Facebook’s privacy settings which most people can’t figure out.
This development bears watching. It isn’t passing the smell test to me.
