Breaking up is hard to do on Facebook [Your Privacy Is An Illusion]
A distraught reader wrote in last night with a tale of woe. He’d just broken up with his girlfriend. “We had a conversation where I told her I would not announce it and just tell if people ask,” he said. Still, we all have needs, and in a moment of weakness he changed his relationship status on Facebook to “single,” and then clicked the button to delete the status change in his mini-feed. The dialog box promised “Hiding will remove the story from your Mini-Feed and prevent anyone from seeing it.”
