"You are allowing AT&T[...] to access your information." Sell my private information to a corporation? Heck no. Make AT&T and whoever else my facebook friend so I can use their whatever crappy facebook application? Of course I trust them with whatever I post to my FB page! I have known them since high school right ?
We all know employers peruse people's Facebook profiles. Whether it is in their anti-discrimination policy or not, they will do it. Whose fault is it? We decided to blame the dirty and scheming subprime mortgage lenders for fooling people who cannot afford houses to adjustable-rate their way into the American Dream. Well who are we going to blame for crushing young people's privacy ? Facebook users have been called exhibitionists. So is it the fault of the users for being careless in revealing their party habits or the corporate solicitors who are using clever marketing to get the ad revenue they want?
I say, your privacy is like your virginity. If you lose it, you can't get it back. But corporations will try to violate you. Suing them for all their worth is inefficient, so we need awareness campaigns to spread the good Word of protecting your information from harm's ways and means.
