I don’t understand why most social-networking sites even have privacy statements and setting, because in reality you really don’t have control over your privacy. Furthermore, you give up any other rights once you join those sites, giving them license to use any content you post however they see fit. A new privacy- and security-based social-networking site, called zeldaB.com allows user to maintain all your rights to privacy, without giving up anything. At zeldaB, there are no hidden terms and conditions, and the policy is simple and easy to understand. Check it out at www.zeldab.com.

That said, the aspect of a community page being created without the individual's consent does cross over into distressing territory. Thanks for listening!

I found Maria's Facebook experience very scary. I plan on re-scrutinizing what I have out there in the social networking ethernet. Thank you for a very informative article.
