In my last blog I talked about privacy on the internet and how social networks and other kinds of web-based applications allow their users to effectively hide who they are.

Well, this was all brought on by Facebook’s new privacy settings which essentially seem to be encouraging us all to share far more information than we would ordinarily. I won’t go into the details of the privacy changes, as Electronic Frontier Foundation covers all the changes.
