Credulous students
This is so disappointing. The Washington Post has a page-one story today about the “uproar” over the new Facebook Feed. The quotes betray some outrageous naivete:
“I don’t like it because it’s kind of stalker-ish,” said Yan Fu, a freshman at George Washington University, adding that he now thinks twice before posting to his page. “I think, ‘Everybody can read it,’ so I’ve avoided it.”
Good! You should have been thinking that all along!
“It’s really creepy,” said Jenny Myers, who graduated this year from American University and works in Washington. “I think it’s absolutely ridiculous, putting people’s information out there, even small things.”
It was already out there! Big things and small things!
If you post information about yourself on the internet, it’s out there. These idiots owe Facebook a load of thanks for the reminder.
