@Jemiweb, you're right that is kinda scary. Sounds a bit like beacon, but maybe just a bit worse. I wonder what is wrong with the guys and gals running the facebook. But on the other hand, they are in a quite safe position to do just about quite anything; most people just don't care. Or don't understand to care.

User may revolt for a short period of time, but when the dust comes down, they will contiune to use facebook.

@eholmila right, on this theoretical level privacy issues interest only certain activists. For the big masses this may only become interesting through some juicy horror story

Not to mention that the rumored Facebook cross-site sharing feature looks really annoying. Facebook chat and like buttons everywhere?

+1 reason why I'm never going to sign up to FB... Just wondering when sites that basically require people to be FB-users will appear. Also, in the story @bergie linked someone mentioned Meebo Bar's slowness. If FB Bar makes things slow, will it affect us FB-boycotters? Although if FBB is slow, sites will (hopefully) remove it, like they apparently did with Meebo.

@ninnnu I'm sure these bars will be easy to disable via greasemonkey or something similar

Facebook sucks. Orkut is much better than this and google really take the privacy seriously after paying lot of money as fine :D . If facebook play with privacy then facebook loose its reputation.

I am interested to see how this will play out in the long run. I think more and more people are starting to realize that there's might be something quite wrong with the facebook but their social circle is keeping them in for now as @terolehtt describes on his work blog's article (link attached, only in finnish).

On the other hand in the same article's comments section there are people who are defending fb quite heavily ("it's okay that fb is opening your privacy settings by defaut as it is easy to tighten them back to strict"). http://blogit.tietokone.fi/tietojakoneesta/2010/04...
