The best approach? Really?
Got a better suggestion, bon? An advanced cyberwarfare team for every person who uses the internet is unfeasible.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Plus the whole granularity of it all, where you have to individually disable every little thing, one at a time (and have to click thirty-seven buttons each time).
And no "uncheck all" button so you can start from a completely locked-down profile and work your way out. I can't tell if it's deliberately confusing or if they just can't afford a usability consultant.

Dood. Why you gotta be a hater?

I'm pretty sure it's deliberate.

The reason that Facebook succeeded in the first place was that they made it a lot easier to control your privacy than MySpace, Friendster, et. al.
Now that they got big enough that those other sites don't matter, they did a 180°.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ita, do you have this shirtless Jamie Bamber picture?

Yup. Which is why Facebook has so much more personal information than anyone else - when they started almost everything was private by default, so why not publish your home address and phone number?

Seagull Steals From Lazy Cat (video)
I love how the seagull checks out the cat first. "I'm totally gonna steal your food. You gonna do something about it? No? Good."

It's sad when Facebook makes *LiveJournal* look benevolent and competent.
