What I hate most of all is that EVERYTHING defaults to "Public". Why can't everything default to private first, and then one can elect to change the settings to public? So if someone doesn't know where to find all the individual elements, like Birthday, one's Birth Date gets exhibited in bold letters every where. And one can't get away from it, as one's birth date is now a required for registration, so better to lie about it. Who on earth would think about looking for changing the security settings in the About View pane? I grappled with it yesterday under a pseudonym of course, and am really glad I don't have it under my real name. Though the way things are going pretty soon Facebook, Hotmail, Google and Yahoo will all be connected. If not already. The danger is not only Governments who want to legislate the Internet, but large conglomerates like Microsoft, Google, and Facebook.
