Ok, so users will stick around until there’s a serious problem, but what if only a few have them? As soon as users started getting arrested due to incriminating facebook photos, Facebook added better/more obvious privacy controls. That didn’t create a PR nightmare because the average user is smart enough to not post stupid photos, but opening up streams to more public consumption may catch even sensible users off-guard.

Facebook is not alone. Any user-generated content site knows that content is an asset, both in and of itself as content and also as data to help target advertisers. Any site concerned with the bottom line will exploit user-generated data up to the point they start losing users, and then stop and maximize profits. I think facebook will start losing users as soon as our photos show up in a regular image search, or as soon as other people read our comments on unrelated websites. Then they’ll back off slightly and enjoy greater profits.

I don’t put things on my facebook proflie that I don’t want the world to know. You shouldn’t either.
..but just because there’s an API out there doesn’t mean that all data permissions go out the window. If you don’t want any app to get to your data, don’t add it to your facebook.

As a developer I would prefer this to authentication, which takes users away from my applications.

facebook is moving too fast trying to compete with twitter. these sites are already huge targets for hackers and spammers, is security even a priority for facebook? i guess not. i did some research, take a look at justaskgemalto a good digital security resource site, it has some good information on this.
