Reversal of TOS for Facebook

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/02/18/facebook.privacy/index.html

While a quick reversal could be seen as small victory for user privacy, this is the second time Facebook has had to back away from invasive practices. After the complaints about the Beacon marketing software last year and the recent reversal of the TOS, it seems more like social networking sites are testing their uses privacy boundries rather than simply experimenting with a new business model. With such fluctuations in the approach to user data, users should take a more conservative approach to all digital communication or personal postings.
