gizaWired has this article about the Facebook incident. It discusses how privacy is a very complex issue, and perception plays a major role.
Also, I tried upgrading Drupal 4.6 to 4.7 on my test machine last night and the results were... interesting. The core modules worked okay, but I had several third party modules totally flip out on me. Here's the list, so far:
- Organic Groups: All posts showed up as double. Trying to enable access control resulted in all posts being removed from their groups.
- Buddylist: Many MySQL errors when trying to list one's buddies.
- Webform: A new table is created during the upgrade, called webform_submissions. Unfortunately, it looks like all of the data in webform_submitted_data is not copied there during the upgrade. This means that all forms appear to have zero items submitted to them. Super.
I forsee a long weekend ahead of me. :-P
