Facebook Places could spark new privacy fire

Tell Facebook to back off on their latest invasion of privacy they call Facebook Places. Go to BoycottFacebookPlaces.com right now and add your comments, then get your friends (yes, even all your Facebook Friends) to sound off there too!

I’m with Brad Shimmin of Current Analysis, quoted here as saying: “For your average, very casual Facebook user, they’re going to get very frustrated with this.”
I’m more alarmed than frustrated, however. This kind of feature, disguised as being so innocent and useful, really is nothing less than the latest bonanza for the marketers and advertisers to whom Facebook and other such Web “services” sell their unwitting users’ private information, preferences, buying habits and social choices every time they “check in.”
Wouldn’t it be great, then, if one could communicate, chat and share files, photos and video with friends, family and colleagues without having to give up all that information in the first place? ZeldabB will never allow third-party applications to invade its users privacy, so predators, spammers and window peepers are kept away. It’s great for anyone, at work or at home, as it offers users the ability to keep different circles of friends, family members, business associates, teammates, whatever, all with complete privacy and security.
