It is insiduous. I even received an e-mail from Facebook themseves (Itself?) with a list of all people I know who have signed up and asking me join as well. This was unsolicited, unwanted, and an eye opener to what information is available to them. Maybe it should be called "Tracebook".
If the MLU Aussie chapter casts their minds back to the "80's, they may recall the big fuss about the proposed "Australia Card" which would have all our details available to all and sundry. This caused a huge uproar about the Big Brother state etc. and was dropped like the hot political potato it was. Surprisingly the general population has now voluntarily signed up to something even worse.... Go figure.
Was the Mapleleaf logo ever copyrighted? If not, I fear the moderators may not have a leagal leg to stand on.
I would like to hear from Sean, I am sure he would be surprised at the reaction this has caused.
Rich.
