The table at the end lists all of the things Facebook is doing. Much of that is obvious and it doesn't bother me. The "excessive processing" thing is worrisome -- what are they doing? The other thing that bothers me a lot is that Facebook refuses to delete data, or whole accounts. So if I want out, they say "no". You can stop logging in, and you can stop adding information, and maybe they will stop displaying your account to others, but they keep the data forever. I knew about that problem from before I signed up, but I signed up anyway. I thought they would not be allowed to just keep it forever, but that will be up to the courts. Meanwhile, I avoid giving them any of my secrets. Mike
