The Federal Trade Commission intervened this week to stop Facebook from doing things like making private user information public... back in 2009. Besides being years too late to impact key product decisions, the proposed settlement doesn't go far in controlling what Facebook can do in the future. Which is a good thing. The company has willfully changed its product countless times over the years, ignoring its users, the developers on its platform, its advertisers, privacy advocates, politicians, etc. Facebook protest pages (um), scathing articles, and petitions to quit have pressured Facebook revert back from whatever it was trying to do.
