There is an iPhone app that I hope will make you call your friends and change their facebook visibility:
Read "GIRLS AROUND ME" and then make it SO CREEPS CAN'T SEE
The "free market solution" is to take an hour a week to check everything you are involved in for changes in the fine print. Our lives are being ruled by the corporations we interact with, even if we don't pay them money.
I give great credit to the author for exposing this, but he made a typo. There is a line in the article
“It’s that we’re all horrified by how exposed these girls are, and how exposed services like Facebook and Foursquare let them be without their knowledge.”
which should be rewritten to
“It’s that we’re all horrified by how exposed these girls are, and how exposed services like Facebook and Foursquare made sure they were. It is what they sell.”
