Facebook's Open Graph Is New Attack on Privacy
Facebook’s recent launch of what Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg calls “frictionless sharing”—in which apps from services like Spotify and publishers like the Washington Post ( WPO ) can post a user’s activity to their wall, without asking for permission for every item —has caused a lot of controversy over whether the feature is a worthwhile addition or a massive invasion of privacy. Consumer advocacy groups such as the Electronic Privacy Information Center are arguing the latter, and have even asked the government to step in , while some users have deleted their Facebook accounts in protest. But there’s an argument to be made that Facebook isn’t forcing anyone to share; it’s simply adapting to the increasingly social way that we are living our lives online.

Facebook, which has more than 750 million users, has not revealed its plans, but the company is widely expected to announce the service at its F8 developers’ conference in San Francisco on Thursday. By putting them in front of millions of users, Facebook’s new platform could introduce the music services to vast new audiences.

With WSJ Social, the Journal is purposely “navigating the content within the app around people,” Baratz told me, and making “every user an editor”; the app, in large part, she says, is about “elevating the role of people as curators of content.” The end result: “When you walk into the app, you have this very curated publication,” Baratz says — one that could, if done right, provide users with a nice mix of personalization and serendipity.
