Merciless website exposes Facebook indiscretions
A new website is exposing embarrassing and potentially job-threatening Facebook messages posted by users who probably don't realize their privacy settings are turned off.There are posts with people brazenly admitting to playing hooky from work and others pull no punches in making fun of their bosses. Some are of a very personal nature, falling into the category of too much information.
From a Facebook post...
As of today, there is a NEW PRIVACY setting called"Instant Personalization" that shares data with non-Facebook websites and it is automatically set to "Allow." Go to Account > Privacy Settings > Applications and Websites > Instant Personalization,and uncheck "Allow". BTW if your friends don't do this, they will be sharing information about you... please copy & paste.

And as you read, people who admit to driving after drinking ...
It's a shame we cannot trust applications like Facebook to keep our information private, as most of us have requested. There is always a loophole!
I know this article is outdated, but the author sold this article by sensationalizing our interview, since i was the only person dumb enough to talk with him.
I've just recently found out about this and begun a blog detailing our umm... journey thus far. Lawsuits and bad journalism and stupid company policies.
