Facebook Graph Search Only Looks Like it Wrecked Facebook Privacy

Actually the privacy was just an illusion

|

Omg, Facebook Graph Search has exposed my private photos! This kind of email has been rolling into TechCrunch's tip line since theintroduction of the new, and still-in-beta, search service from Facebook. The reveals are somewhat tantalizing – Mark Zuckerberg and a baby dressed like a monkey! Matt Burns in a Star Trek costume! Eric Eldon flipping the bird! (Yes, we've been having fun with this here). But despite what it looks like, Facebook hasn't actually violated your privacy. It only feels like that.
