Thousands of Facebook internal documents and emails published online

Just stop posting anything about your personal life on it, block all forms of geolocation (other than by IP, which they can still do), and use it for only shitposting.

I'm honestly creeped out by people who post photos of the interior of their homes, the children, etc on Facebook now.

There was a time when people moving to a new place would voluntarily list their names, phone number, and residential address in a public directory.

We have lost a lot of privacy in recent decades but some expectations have actually changed towards more privacy.

Well, there was also a time when the SS7/PSTN phone network was the only way to get in contact with people quickly. And by "quickly", I mean that almost nobody carried a cellphone, so leave a message on their cassette tape based answering machine if they're not home.

What's interesting to me now is how blithely people give up a lot of their personal privacy to random social media companies.
