Thumb Down

Problem is that Facebook is way overvalued. Most of investors noticed it already. There's no way it'll grow as fast as it did in the last 2 years, thus, by rules of Wall Street, it's value will decrease. So Zuckerberg is trying to at least stop some of suck^H^H^H customers from leaving to competitors. And competitors are everywhere, especially accepting that by their own stupidity Facebook is english only. Sorry what???

Alert

"Claiming that the Google service violates users' privacy". Of course Facebook is a pinnacle of upstanding when it comes to users privacy...

Privacy expectations

I'd have thought that this was *exactly* the kind of privacy protections that Facebook users have come to expect. At least, those who have been paying attention.

But...
