Happy Birthday Facebook Users

Interesting article over at PC World about a new Facebook glitch that allows people to see a user’s birthday information even if the user has explicitly stated that they want this information to be kept private.

Sophos Senior Technology Consultant Graham Cluely discovered the bug while he was checking the new Facebook design. He noted that birth dates of some of his very reclusive and privacy-obsessed acquaintances were popping up when actually they should have been hidden.

This reinforces our advocating that social networks incorporate third party tools like TrustMe to give users more control over how their information is used.
