I am an unhappy Facebook user. Facebook has just decided that all the "interests" information on users profiles pages should be public. They say it is "Connecting you to everything you care about", but there's no opt out. If your profile says you're interested in photography, you're thrown into a community based on that interest.
As for me, I now have no interests because I am not intersted in Facebook disclosing my personal information without my ok.
