        <description><![CDATA[In my personal opinion, if you're stupid enough to put enough of your personal details into a publicly available source such as social networking for it to be a risk to the security of your identity, then you're gullible enough to believe that a bunch of four-eyed sociophobes will disconnect you from your self-centred little world and distribute your details freely, without consent.This same group apparently believes that a portal for people to communicate and share their lives on the cloud instead of in-person; is to blame for whatever objection they've fabricated to a man's rightful success, and not the individuals themselves.If they (Anonymous) really want to get their message across and be heard, maybe a live, un-distorted television broadcast would be more effective. Or are they afraid that their beliefs aren't justified? After-all, they're sharing and communicating (their views) on the Internet, and plan to take-down a site that provides the services to do just that.It's a load of hypocritical bull.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I hate to admit it but as a IT Pro I don't like Facebook or really social networking in general (at least in its current form) and let me be CLEAR I don't think criminal activities are a good thing but with that said - FB needs to be taken down a notch so in some ways i don't have a problem with this attack....mostly b/c the true problem is greed and using peoples likes and dislikes to make an extra buck is wrong....People should not have to worry about their privacy vs advertising $$$ - Companies may need money to keep running but when they decide to consider the user before the $$$ things like this will happen less and when they prove the customer comes 1st in the end they will get more customers and more $$$ - problem is right now companies like FB consider the advertisers their customers instead of the users....well if you have no users, then you have no advertising dollars... But no one including FB will change except maybe to increase their security - so little will be accomplished.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Google doesn't do anything evil... Google only wants to give you what you want, or ads for what you want.If you switch ISPs the rDNS changes, yes. But not the fact that Google has used it as an identifier for you, to map your doings. - If you use google services, they'll peg the new rDNS to that as well - adding, not detracting from their knowledge.Switch ISPs, and Google not only learns your new DNS, but also that you have changed ISPs.Use an &quot;anonymizer&quot; and google knows that you use one, since they have a limited number of IPs to them...Google learns from everything.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Yes it can do evil. Does it though? My original argument was that. Reverse DNS does not reveal anything about you. You change your ISP after a while and reverse DNS does not mean anything anymore. The danger is there sometimes. But with facebook it is an inherent part of its business model.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It's about the company having a &quot;presence&quot; in the new hip medium (ie. marketing channel). I wouldn't say it's uncommon and facebook will get just as saturated with company sock puppets as mysapce did.On the other hand, it should be an additional marketing channel. I can think of very few business models where facebook connectivity and profile updating would be a primary profit generator.]]></description>
