Today in Facebook...

Just as I was beginning to dread the prospect of having to keep tabs on the four-alarm garbage fire that Facebook has suddenly been revealed to have been for years, the good folks at Gizmodo have decided to save me all that hard work, and start their own (regularly updated) blog entry on the subject, which you can now check instead. I know that I intend to. Because I am lazy.

"Here Are the Myriad Ways Facebook Is Getting Dunked on Right Now," can be found using the link (<-). I'll also add a link to the sidebar (->)... mainly for my own convenience, but hopefully it also helps at least one other person at some point.

My favourite bit of snark from Gizmodo's post:
Did you use Facebook on an Android phone? Your calls and texts might have been scraped by a company you already hate!
Don’t even worry, though. Facebook—a company definitely not embroiled in a scandal due to its handling of sensitive data—has said it wasn’t looking at your chats.
Reputations - they take years of hard work to build, but only minutes to destroy.
