[dc401-l] Interesting Paper: Facebook and the Social Dynamics of Privacy

[John Duksta]

As a very late followup to NickD's talk on how Social Networking and  
Web 2.0 sucks, here's an interesting academic paper that was recently  
released.

"This Article provides the first comprehensive analysis of the law and  
policy of privacy on social network sites, using Facebook as its  
principal example. It explains how Facebook users socialize on the  
site, why they misunderstand the risks involved, and how their privacy  
suffers as a result."
