Recent report on Facebook founder, billionare Mark Zukkerberg, by Andrew Orlowski has exposed how a young Zuckerberg insulted 'trusting users', calling them 'dumb fucks' for passivly supplying otherwise personal information to the site.
But honestly, can you blame him? At age 19, your going to make a fair amount of regrettable comments; regardless if your a student or the 'next big thing'. Zuckerbergs throw away remark highlights the ignorance of thousands, if not millions of social netowking users when it comes to their personal security online.
Too much trust is placed in the assumed anonomity of the internet. Users seem to think of social netowork sites as an intamte space for private use, rahter than the glass bedroom it is, complete with a public veiwing platform. This visual depiction of privacy depletion on Facebook shows the increasing avaliblity of personal content over the years.

Moral panic has once again sweeped the world, with publicy outcry for 'safe buttons' to appear on all pages and organised boycotting that hopes to pressure the site to increase its responcibilty of users safety.
