[Year 12 IT Apps] Evil Facebook - information privacy gone badlywrong

[Roy Smalley]

Great Article. 
 
Jason Perlow, a blogger on ZDNet, also gives a good overview of some of the privacy issues along with strategies to reduce them. Some of the comments attached to Jason's article could be used to generate some class discussion around Privacy, Security, and Ethical issues.
