Facebook is playing privacy games again, this time with phone numbers.

I wrote it up at Geekazine. If you have a Facebook account and don’t know about the stealth entries in your Facebook Phonebook yet, you really must read this. Then turn it off (if you can; I haven’t been able to yet–the “turn it off” link crashes I finally got through, but turning it off did not seem to affect entries from other persons’ accounts. Dammit, I don’t even want a Facebook Phonebook).

Zuckerberg keeps supplying evidence that he is not a very nice nor respectful person.

Privacy Policy

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
