Facebook employees know better than most the value of privacy . This past summer Facebook relocated from University Avenue in Palo Alto, CA — where several buildings fan out along the downtown strip — to a new central office in Stanford Research Park. A good friend and two-year veteran of Facebook invited me to check out the new space. When I arrived, a security guard handed me a non-disclosure contract to fill out, a requirement to enter the building. “Just making sure you’re not a Twitter spy,” he said.

Facebook Memology: Top Status Trends of 2009
Status updates on Facebook help people understand their friends and the people around them--how they're feeling, what they're doing and what they're thinking. In the United States alone, people on Facebook are sharing hundreds of millions of words every day, thousands per second, in status updates. When taken as a whole, these words offer a unique barometer into the issues, world events and thoughts that are connecting people.

Technology News: Privacy: Zuckerberg: Facebook Is Helping People
Facebook's recent privacy overhaul, which has been roundly criticized by privacy advocates, was a response to a "new social norm," according to the social network's CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Society is evolving away from the desire to be private and toward an increasing willingness to share more personal information with more people, he said, and his company's new policies reflect that.

Facebook's privacy changes: the real reason behind the move - Te
Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder, declared in an interview this month that public sharing, not personal privacy, is the new “social norm”. Is it merely coincidental then, that less privacy for users equals more pageviews and profits for Facebook? Zuckerberg’s implication is that Facebook ’s new approach to privacy is reactive rather than proactive: people want to share their everyday lives with the world, and Facebook is simply enabling that activity. There’s no doubt that the web has shown us the benefits of public sharing, from Flickr’s decision to make public the default setting on its photo-sharing site to Twitter’s emphasis on sharing your thoughts with the world.
Facebook's Foolish Move: Amending Its Terms of Service and Failing to Be Open with Users About the Change This is not the first time that Facebook has caused a public outcry over its privacy practices. As I have noted in previous columns such as this one , Facebook has tried new features involving user content that have sparked controversy. This time, however, Facebook took a bold step with its contract that seemed to alter the very nature of the bargain it had struck with its members. When you join Facebook, under its Terms of Service, you grant Facebook a "license" (that is, legal permission) to use your content "on or in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof." To some extent, such a license is necessary.
