Facebook has been the subject of intense scrutiny over privacy concerns...again. Or, is it still? Facebook is not alone, however, as Twitter and Android have also been recent targets of privacy ire. Each of these privacy incidents has something else in common as well--they are a result of relationships with third-parties that users have approved.
Don't get me wrong--I am not suggesting that Facebook, Google, and Twitter don't have a responsibility to protect privacy, or that they shouldn't play a part in identifying and implementing solutions to provide better privacy controls. However, I am very much suggesting that users look in the mirror and take responsibility for protecting their own privacy before casting stones.
