Your Facebook Details May Be Published On File-Sharing Site

Another blunder by Facebook has just been revealed where it is believed that as many as 100 million users' data which had not been hidden by Facebook's "User Privacy Settings" had been collected and available for download on the internet. On Pirate Bay, the world's biggest file-sharing website, the list was being distributed and downloaded by more than 1,000 users, but it is believed it will be accessed by thousands more in a matter of days. I can understand that Facebook has a default setting for privacy that makes some user information publicly available but with the rampant misuses and abuses I just have to disagree with Facebook's stance statement of not changing it the other way round after what has happened in this privacy episode. As Facebook is a social networking site, it should not operate like some online find a friend site and that the users' privacy setting be one which is private than open from the start. With the popularity and population increasing, I really hope that Facebook will change its privacy policy when members inside includes tenderly young aged children. What is your opinion here?
