Open Source Utilities For Facebook Privacy

dward90 writes "Two online projects will scan and edit Facebook privacy settings for maximum protection: ReclaimPrivacy (reclaimprivacy.org) and SaveFace (untangle.com). The article says: 'Several new applications have launched this week that are designed to easily reset a Facebook member's privacy settings, following new changes from the company that make a sizable chunk of profile content public by default when it was once kept under lock and key.'"

Re:Other websites knowing your facebook account

[Anonymous Coward]

You should sprinkle a lot of obscenities, pornographic pictures, and the most distastful things that you can find on your facebook pages. It will insure that other sites cannot use your information without losing their "safe for work" designations.

And now for something completely different!

And that, my liege, is how we know the Web to be banana-shaped.

This new learning amazes me, Sir Zuckerberg. Explain again how a series of tubes may be employed to eliminate privacy.

Oh, certainly, sir.

Look, my liege!

Facebook!
Facebook!
Facebook!

It's only a website.

Shhh!

Friends, I bid you welcome to your new home. Let us ride... to Facebook.

[singing]

We're Friends of the round table
We Poke when e're we're able
We do Farmville and play Mob Wars
With mousework impecc-able
We lurk around on Facebook
We tag and quiz our friends a lot!

[dancing]

We're Friends of the round table
Our Likes are for-mid-able
Though many times we're given gifts
That are fake and unuse-able
We're news-feed mad on Facebook
We check from mobile phones a lot!

[tap-dancing]

Oh, our Walls we cradle
Quite indefatigable
Between our posts we friend request
And pad our list where able
It's a busy life on Facebook
I have to push the 'Hide' a lot!

[outdoors]

Well, on second thought, let's not go to Facebook -- it is a silly place.

Right.
Right.

And now for something completely different!

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask.
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS
[Redacted]: What? How'd you manage that one?
Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don't know why.
Zuck: They "trust me"
Zuck: Dumb f***s.
