The good folks at the New York Times have broken down the dizzying array of privacy changes Facebook are implementing more and more regularly. In a time when consumers have control, or want control, Facebook might just be shooting themselves in the foot with their penchant to confuse and sell your personal data for profit. I remember when Facebook put their trust in user opinion. It seems the more Facebook tries to commoditize, the more they take advantage of the Facebook users that make their service thrive.

Interesting factoid: Facebook has a longer privacy policy than the United States Constitution

Today in the Technology Section of the New York Times there's an article/chart of what the major tech companies are offering. It's a good look at what each one is focused on and directions they might be heading in the future. But there has been data and information omitted that would make this chart just a top layer. I would suggest reading readers' comments which are just as informative.
