This might be a little late, but I wanted to speak a few words about the Facebook "privacy crisis."
Facebook is a social site. The whole idea of it is to share and interact with others. If you have that many enemies or are that afraid of strangers learning any information about you at all, maybe you should look to other wastes of time.
Maybe it's too late to mention this, but when you give all of your information to people you really don't know, don't be shocked if they do something you weren't expecting. For all of the crying about privacy, FB couldn't release anything that wasn't freely given to them. If you have pictures that are that damning to your reputation, maybe they shouldn't be online at all.
I'm not saying that things you set to private should be open to all or anything like that. I'm saying that you ultimately control what they do. If FB has another lapse of common sense and breaks everything wide open again, then only the things YOU gave FB are open. If you want to keep things truly private, keep them in your control and don't trust a billion dollar business to keep your best interests in heart.
