Piers Morgan is opening up about his candid interview with Charlie Sheen on Monday night.
Despite critics calling it a "softball" interview, Morgan is proud of his interview and proud of how he got Charlie on the show.
After Charlie's long time publicist Stan Rosenfield quit, Piers had no choice but to call Charlie's home himself.
The talk [...]
We're not sure how we feel about this, but Facebook is going ahead with their quest to "make the world more open and connected" by giving out users personal contact information such as home addresses and phone numbers to third-party developers and websites.
Facebook first announced this plan in January, but suspended any further action after public outcry from users and Congressmen, but whether you like it or not, the social network may be making you more social than you want to be.
Although the info is only intended to be shared with application developers, experts still fear it may be easier for scammers to take advantage of users who could give out their personal contact information after a few wrong clicks.
Others like Mary Hodder, chairman of the Personal Data Ecosystem Consortium, sees this as Facebook's willingness to change the rules of the game. She points out:
"People never thought when they were posting this data [such as their phone numbers] that it would be accessible to anyone but friends. There's a real mismatch of expectations around that. Even if Facebook comes back with new protections, they're still saying, 'Hey, get over it, your data is public.' I feel badly for users that Facebook's approach is 'You give us anything and it's all fair game.'"
We don't think hope there is a reason to get TOO worried because the information sharing is not automatic and a developer has to request permission to access any information from a user. A spokesperson for the website said:
"You need to explicitly choose to share your data before any app or website can access it and no private information is shared without your permission."
The best way to avoid this information being shared however, might be to completely remove it from your profile.
Thoughts???
