Zuckerberg sweats privacy criticism
I'm perspiring, bitch
Customer Success Testimonial: Recovery is Everything
Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg has again defended his company's privacy policies, this time with added sweat.
The perspiring boy-droid took to the stage at the D8 conference yesterday, where observers said he looked ill at ease facing questions about Facebook's latest PR wobble.
According to the New York Times, Zuckerberg delivered a rambling, uncomfortable performance as he sought to explain how everyone had the wrong end of the stick about his views on personal information. Facebook had been victim of "misperceptions", he said.
"There have been misperceptions that we are trying to make all information open. That's completely false," Zuckerberg insisted in one uncharacteristically concise response.
Last week Facebook announced it would simplify its privacy controls in the face of mounting criticism. It did not however roll back changes that had increased the amount of users' information published to their friends.
Under questioning and hot stage lights Zuckerberg was forced to take off his trademark hoodie. The audience applauded when his interviewer Walt Mossberg changed the subject. It's unclear whether they acted out of sympathy for the sweaty billionaire or concern for their own electrical safety. ®

He should be sweating.
You can't take everybody for a fool...That just makes you one yourself. Zuckerberg tried too much too soon and got caught doing it and is now back-peddling as hard as he can.
I enjoyed FB since I joined in the spring of 2009. But with all of the privacy changes without notifications and opt-ins set as the default, I had enough. I bailed about two weeks before the shit hit the fan. I urged several friends to do so as well.
My info is compromised every day without me knowing by whom. How stupid do you have to be to not bail out when you do know who is doing it???

I love it when articles are posted under "Team Register". It makes me imagine all of the staff crowded around a computer and all typing at the same time. Do you all do a couple of paragraphs each or what?
