On September 7, 2011, Facebook changed its privacy policy, replacing the policy that was updated on December 22, 2010. What are the changes all about and what are their privacy implications?
What is Facebook’s New Privacy Policy All About? More Complexity, More Intransparent Data Storage, Continued Internet Prosumer Commodification, Ideological Pseudo-Participation, and a Reaction to the Privacy Complaints Filed by “Europe versus Facebook”.

How to Become a Facebook Billionaire
Mark Zuckerberg, co-founder and CEO of Facebook, more than tripled his wealth from US$ two billion in 2009 to US$ 6.9 billion in 2010 and jumped from rank 158 to number 35. Two other Facebook co-founders have entered the Forbes list: Dustin Moskovitz is ranked at position 290 with US$ 1.4 billion, Eduardo Saverin is at rank 356 with US$ 1.15 billion. The large increase of the wealth of the Facebook founders is mainly due to the infinite exploitation of Internet prosumer labour.
