Because of the rising number of claims that the insecure methods of information sharing on social networking sites, and of the majority of claims being made against the sites themselves as if they are to be held entirely accountable, there should be a collaborative effort from users of social networking sites and the network admins of said sites alike to distribute and make available prerequisite information on social networking privacy, and how the site plans to use and/or share personal information of its users with advocates and ad generators; people should take it upon themselves to become aware of this information, and sites should provide a disclaimer or perhaps even a quiz to make sure someone knows exactly what they are signing up for when they join a site.
Note: the previous post is a precis on an article that supports my claim that most of the blame currently being generated for online privacy is directed at the social networking cites.
