Facebook? Have fun with it!

As the latest hot topic in the mainstream press for “security” issues, Facebook has copped quite a bit!
FFS, is Facebook really the biggest problem we have? (Aside: FFS...I thought I invented a new one but I did not…found this link).
As usual, mainstream IT press diverts the attention from the real issues to the hot topic of the day. YES….Facebook can be a BIG problem BUT…..gees…..we’ve got much larger ones! Facebook security is something in the hands of those participating - ie; in their control! Supposed press awareness is good, but who are you kidding?
Yes, the real issues get reported here and there in mainstream press….very ad hoc….but end of the day….they get replaced quickly by the latest large vendor product release announcements and something bad in Facebook (or similar) like Vampires striking into people.

Stuff within a system supposedly stays there or so you would think. Like a Second Life, LinkedIn as useless as that is, its up to the individual what they put into it. Like you said, it diverts the main issue from what it is.

Dude you have deleted posts in this blog that have asked about the status of SA and what is happening. Why? I know you are online at the moment because I have seen you post!

You could tie this in with your previously themed “why security ppl aren’t taking seriously” blog posts.
