U.S. Lawmakers Concerned Over Facebook Privacy [voices.washingtonpost.com] | Last week, changes at Facebook made data from its users available to third parties unless a user opted out, the lawmakers said. That means, they said, the default for most users is for private information to be available to advertisers and other third parties. |
