Care that Facebook is killing privacy? You might be an old fogey

Anybody that spends just a few minutes reading about privacy on the web, and hell, elsewhere, would most certainly care about this. This old fogey crap is very tiresome. As if having any sort of age to you immediately means you care more for things that don't matter.

They may not care about their privacy, but I do. The rights of others are also my rights. It's not theirs to squander away so easily.

FYI, I'm 27.

The company asks survey participants: “If you’ve heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, was it positive or negative?”

That's an incredibly subjective question to ask if you're out to show correlation between age and reverence of personal privacy.

I think this is the wrong question to ask. I'm an old fogey - 44 - and I don't like Facebook. But, it's not about the privacy - there is no such thing on the Internet - and if you don't recognize that, well fool you. The question, me thinks, should be: Care that Facebook is sneaky?
