The reality is that we really have little privacy online. It is not just Facebook, but just about everything you join today is trying to connect the dots in your life, to figure out who your friends are and what you may be inclined to join or purchase. And all of this data is bartered and sold between companies and organizations. The days of the anonymous Internet ended years ago, if it ever existed in the first place.
