Facebook must increase, privacy must decrease

Think on the bright side: once Facebook has acquired a faithfully-updated account for every person on the planet, we will finally have an indisputable answer to the "six degrees of separation" question. For those of you who feel this is a cheap consolation prize when compared to the potential dangers of the ginormous social network, too bad. Facebook is here to stay. According to the following CNN article, Facebook is not only huge, it's now making money. As long as Facebook is profitable, it will survive, while making every attempt to increase its popularity.  Now would be a good time for any interested in personal privacy to make some serious decisions about what is appropriate for them to post in such an unprotected environment.
