Facebook users are naive to believe that Facebook will not eventually find a way to make them pay for the service that they are using. But it is shocking to learn that Facebook is doing so in such an underhand manner - I, like many, had assumed that setting "Privacy Settings" to "Friends" was all I need to do to keep my data within a network of my choosing.

It's compounded by the cavalier attitude taken when confronted. However, what is most disturbing is that personal information is shared with advertisers, privacy settings be damned! These settings do not apply to their (Facebook's) relationship with their sources of revenue. Making the world more social is just lip-service to the underlying pursuit of revenue.
