<title>iPhoto and Facebook Privacy Disaster</title>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I created a new album on Facebook and picked a particular list of people to share this album with. I used iPhoto to share pictures on Facebook using this album. After some clicking back and forth I noticed that my album was &lt;em style="font-style: normal; letter-spacing: 0.125em; padding-left: 0.125em;"&gt;no longer&lt;/em&gt; restricted the list of people I had picked! The album had been reset to the default visibility settings for albums.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What a &lt;em style="font-style: normal; letter-spacing: 0.125em; padding-left: 0.125em;"&gt;major fuck-up&lt;/em&gt;! &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.emacswiki.org/pics/danger.png" alt="danger" /&gt; &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.emacswiki.org/pics/attention.png" alt="attention" /&gt; &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.emacswiki.org/pics/sucks.png" alt="sucks" /&gt; &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.emacswiki.org/pics/evil.png" alt="evil" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have resolved to delete all the Facebook albums with non-standard permissions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tags: &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=Privacy"&gt;Privacy&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/Privacy"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=Facebook"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/Facebook"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki?action=tag;id=iPhoto"&gt;iPhoto&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="feed tag" title="Feed for this tag" rel="feed" href="http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/feed/full/iPhoto"&gt;&lt;img src="http://alexschroeder.ch/pics/rss.png" alt="RSS" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>claimID for Big Brother</title>
<link>http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2006-10-31_claimID_for_Big_Brother</link>
<guid>http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2006-10-31_claimID_for_Big_Brother</guid>
<description>&lt;p&gt;I wonder what &lt;a class="url http outside" href="http://www.claimid.org/"&gt;claimID&lt;/a&gt; is all about. It seems to me that you can create an id on their site, and link to other resources of yours. What&amp;#x2019;s the point?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;You help other people find stuff by you, in a portfolio kind of way.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you use it as intended with a single identity however then basically you&amp;#x2019;re helping everybody else to track you.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You&amp;#x2019;re making yourself more transparent. Unfortunately, the operation is not symmetric à la &lt;a class="near" title="Community" href="http://www.communitywiki.org/cw/TransparentSociety"&gt;TransparentSociety&lt;/a&gt;: You&amp;#x2019;re not making anybody else transparent. Nobody watches the watchers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;There&amp;#x2019;s no inverse operation: You cannot &lt;em style="text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;"&gt;disclaim&lt;/em&gt; anything. (&amp;#x201c;No, this &lt;abbr title="Internet Relay Chat"&gt;IRC&lt;/abbr&gt; log is &lt;em style="text-decoration: underline; font-style: normal;"&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; about me!&amp;#x201d;) It&amp;#x2019;s a one-way street. You can&amp;#x2019;t use it to hide parts of yourself. No cloaking.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;So when they say you should &amp;#x201c;reclaim some power back from the search engines&amp;#x201d; &lt;a class="url http number" href="http://claimid.com/about"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="bracket"&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;1&lt;span class="bracket"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; what they are actually saying is &amp;#x201c;selectively helping them&amp;#x201d;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x2019;t like it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The problem they are solving is not something that bothers me (link all my stuff to my name). They don&amp;#x2019;t solve the problem that does bother me (asymmetric &amp;amp; unvoluntary transparency).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tags: &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/alex?action=browse;tag=1;id=Privacy"&gt;Privacy&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/alex?action=browse;tag=1;id=Web"&gt;Web&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<guid>http://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/2006-10-08_Privacy_Or_Functionality</guid>
<description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x2019;ve installed the &lt;a class="near" title="Names" href="http://tor.eff.org/"&gt;Tor&lt;/a&gt; client on my laptop (it came bundled with Privoxy and a GUI), and a Firefox plugin to switch it on or off. Surfing with Tor is incredibly sluggish. I don&amp;#x2019;t think I can do this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Am I a sell-out?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tags: &lt;a class="outside tag" title="Tag" rel="tag" href="http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/alex?action=browse;tag=1;id=Privacy"&gt;Privacy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
