Figuring out ways to keep my mom from seeing pictures of me on Facebook is no longer my biggest Facebook concern.
With their new "instant personalization" program Facebook is sharing your information with companies like Microsoft and Yelp, and probably more to come, without your permission.
You can block this new program, but only by changing several of your settings.
This is ridiculous. Facebook should ask your permission before they share information about you or your friends with other companies.
I want control of my information, and I want my information safe and secure. There are already reports of security holes with "instant personalization" sites that have made personal information accessible to hackers.[1]
