Social Networking and the Law: “Facebook updated its privacy policy last week, and the social networking site has come under fire for what many consider to be the site’s gradual deterioration of privacy protection. Particularly troubling: the popular social networking site touted the changes as giving users more control over their information. To the contrary, the changes actually seem to reduce the amount of control users have over the privacy of their information.”
