Facebook has joined the OpenID Foundation , something that many OpenID advocates have hoped would happen for some time. The two systems of logging in to
...
distributed websites, OpenID and Facebook Connect, have been characterized as rivals - OpenID being the high-minded but socially awkward one who doesn't get invited to parties despite being a really good person and Facebook Connect being the rich preppy popular kid from the 80's movie who's a bully but is good at sports. Now they've joined forces, on some level. Cynics immediately said it would make no difference, that their cynicism remained unchanged, or that Facebook was likely to "pull a Microsoft" and try to destroy OpenID. We disagree. We think this is good news. Here is why. Both systems, OpenID and Facebook Connect, claim to offer a number of benefits: Both make it easier to participate in new websites because you don't need to create a new account. Both carry payloads of user data that can yield immediate personalization for a

Facebook is being urged to improve its default privacy settings following research that revealed members are unwittingly exposing their personal details
...
on a mass scale to millions of strangers, putting themselves at risk of identity theft. IT security and control firm Sophos took a random snapshot of 200 users in the London Facebook network and found that a staggering 75 per cent allow their profiles to be viewed by any other member, regardless of whether they or not they have agreed to be friends. Even if you have previously set up your privacy settings to ensure that only friends can view your information, joining a network automatically opens your profile to every other member of the network. Worryingly for businesses, 25 per cent; which could equate to as many as 300,000 users in the London network, revealed information relating to their work - details that could potentially be used by cybercriminals in their attempts to commit corporate ID fraud or to infiltrate company networks.

UK Says Yes, EU is Considering, is US Next? A recent study in the UK showed that most Britons have a strong desire for the regulation of social network
...
sites like MySpace and Facebook. In fact, 9 out of 10 people said there should be tighter regulation and, according to today's The Guardian , 89% said there should be a set of widely accepted rules to help prevent personal information from being abused. The survey was performed by the Press Complaints Commission (PCC), a British regulatory body for printed newspapers and magazines that consists of representatives from all the major publishers. Since the PCC has been expanding their role, now monitoring internet and video content produced by newspapers, one wonders if they now want to dip their fingers into social network regulation as well. Sir Christopher Meyer, the PCC chairman, warned of the dangers of posting content online to these sites, saying , "there is a need for public awareness about what can happen to information once it is
