<P>Kat and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; I fully agree that Facebook has been sense it's conception along with 
Myspace.com and others</P>
<P>been playing fast an loose with their patrons/customers personal information 
that may and in some</P>
<P>instances lead to serious negative consequences for those very 
patrons/customers.&nbsp; Disregarding</P>
<P>privacy laws already extant in many countries as Facebook has done had 
gotten the attention of</P>
<P>political and LEA leaders all over the globe, many up in arms 
accordingly.&nbsp; Recent announcements</P>
<P>by Facebook claiming to have strengthened privacy protections for their 
patrons/customers/users</P>
<P>are now difficult to except by some if not many and given Facebooks history 
like Myspace, leaves</P>
<P>many skeptical and perhaps will lead to numerous legal class action legal 
actions that would leave</P>
<P>such social web sites organizations financially devistated and hinder others 
that may later come</P>
<P>along or are already in existence loosing the confidence of not only my 
fellow Americans, but</P>
<P>freedom and liberty loving people significantly skeptical if not totally 
distrustful and angry</P>
<P>and rightfully so..&nbsp; <BR><BR><BR></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0pt">Dear MoveOn Member,</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0pt">As the Internet becomes more and more central to 
daily life, the security—or lack thereof—of our personal information on the web 
is becoming a major concern.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0pt">So when Facebook—one of the biggest sites on the 
web—decided to make much of its users' information broadly available across the 
Internet, we were deeply troubled.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0pt">But most of Facebook's 400 million users probably 
have no idea that their personal information is now floating around the web. So 
we put together a simple chart to make the extent of the changes clear and to 
spur people to take action to protect their privacy.<SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: 
bold">&nbsp;</SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0pt">Because this isn't just about Facebook.<SPAN 
style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">&nbsp;</SPAN>If Facebook gets away with sharing its 
users' personal information this way, other Internet companies won't be far 
behind.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 1em 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">So check out the 
chart and forward it to your friends, </SPAN><A style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"
