Following the recent Facebook privacy scandal, have you changed your behaviour on Facebook? Are you conscious about how much you share and are you worried about your privacy?

I use Facebook to communicate and share my ideas, so I'm not worried about privacy on the site itself. I do try to avoid being profiled by Facebook based on my other usage of the internet though. For example I use the No Script program to restrict sites from writing Javascript on web pages I visit. I also use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) - provided free by the Opera browser - when I can to restrict access to my IP address. I also clear my browsing history frequently. The Facebook controversy may be designed to allow more regulation of the internet by governments, but governments are more of a threat to our privacy than Facebook!
