Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69442813 I didn't said that. GLP people mostly knows what to do and how to do it safely. Average FB user who post real info on FB doesn't bother read privacy policy. This case is interesting thanks to massive number of users that it gained quickly. “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” - George Orwell |
