On-line Privacy Concerns Grow

[Lamplighter]

I've already been pilfered by FaceBook.

Prior to the "new profile version" of FB, I had all of my personal data restricted to viewing only by My Friends.
Over the weekend my profile was automatically converted into FB's new version.
The settings on new fields were applied at the default "everyone" level.
As soon as I saw it, I erased all of my data and again went back through the settings to restrict viewing, location, etc.

This morning I opened FB and I see "personalized" ads for services to the "senior citizens" of Oregon:
for the Peace Corp in Portland, for Natural Awakenings, for long-term care insurance,
for nursing homes, and for a local funeral business.
Even after restricting the settings, the ads change each time I go back into my Profile.

Geeeeezzzzz. FB already has the rest of my life planned out for me
