Sep 21, 2011 Facebook makes it easier than ever to eavesdrop: The new mini stream feature makes it simple to see what people are saying, even when they might not realize you're listening

QUOTE: any comment you make is potentially open to a new level of scrutiny by all of your peers and followers: casual acquaintances, family members, a boss, a co-worker, a business partner, your pastor....Making matters worse, Facebook doesn't provide much in the way of evident guidance or functionality to keep these privacy barriers intact.

Aug 11, 2011 Court: Clogging email and voicemail systems can be legal: Court ruling means it's OK for protesters to shut down a company's communication systems under certain circumstances

QUOTE: The ruling can be viewed a victory for free speech because it means people can continue to freely launch legitimate protest campaigns against business and politicians alike via email and phone calls. But it also means that groups with questionable aims can engage in similar practices under the guise of fighting for a greater good when, in fact, they're acting out of selfish interests.

May 12, 2011 Facebook's failed Google smear: Stupidity squared

QUOTE: In the universe of things that are not very bright, there are three basic categories: stupid, really stupid, and how-do-you-even-manage-to-get-your-pants-on-every-morning stupid.
