The Party on my Facebook Page

May 18, 2013 By Staff Leave a Comment

An ACLU post argues that Facebook flattens our in-born privacy intuitions. In real life, we keep our networks separate, we share wild stuff with the college pals and tamer stuff with a work audience. You can designate different audiences on Facebook, but the post suggests many do not.
