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've been concerned about Facebook for some time. Initially, this was because close (elderly) friends were hacked (yahoo) and then tracked (FB) while travelling abroad. As we travel overseas frequently, for extended periods (90+ days) we realised that our movements were public... and our unoccupied home... very vulnerable.

Misuse of FB data, to target disenfranchised citizens and spread disinformation, is a whole new level of security concern. Restricted data access is not simply a matter of trust... . It is critically important in a world in which misuse, misinformation and malpractice threaten our priceless democracies.
