A comment on Facebook sued for ‘losing control’ of users’ data. Parent comment

The same argument could be said today about your web browser.

I wrote this comment for people in this conversation to see. Yet you allowed Google Chrome access to the comment. You let your adblocker see it. You let lots of software companies scrape it. You shared the data with a wider audience than I intended.

Sure, the argument doesn't hold much water on the public internet. But now consider HN was an invite-only forum, in fact an invite-only forum just like my facebook page...

You’re making the same argument. Public comments are fair game and there’s no expectations of privacy. A private, or invite only, or a network like fb with complex privacy controls is another story entirely.
