So, 'privacy-is-bollocks' userdata-scraping giant Facebook, is trying to convince several media that 'privacy-is-bollocks-but-we-don't-say-that-out-loud' userdata-scraping giant Google, is utterly bad, bad, bad.

Ridiculous, and indeed clumsy, anti-PR by Facebook while trying to create an image of 'We-do-less-evil'.
Both companies are 'waging war' against each other, FB will introduce email soon and Google will (again) introduce (another) social networking FB-competitor.
Simple economics-driven 'catch-as-catch-can'.

Isn't Facebook the one that changed their privacy agreement with their endusers, so they could own the rights to YOUR information, completely against the SPIRIT of the agreement THEY asked you to accept when you joined (i.e. you could remove pictures and they couldn't repost)? They are hypocrites for complaining about any other firms "privacy concerns".

 

How fortunate that there will be an 'open' Facebook alternative soon, I can't wait to try it!
