And the lovely newbies here at HN downvote you for that. Sheesh - I don't get what's happened here over the past 6-9 months.
After you read enough "this is the last straw" comments about Facebook, it gets old.
Isn't that true about Facebook privacy stories too?
I imagine some people are downvoting this story too (if that is even possible). However, a new instance of privacy violation is a lot more important than an HN reader's personal decision to cancel his Facebook account. The quickness with which people tire of one type of information versus the other should scale accordingly.
Of all the articles so far this appears the best - hard evidence and a specific problem/bug.
If there were no privacy debate re facebook going on right now I expect this would have stood up on it's own anyway.
Everyone has their own "last straw"... nothing wrong with a comment like his. I see more to complain about with yours
