Jason Calacanis, one of Silicon Valley's best-known figures, noticed that one of his Facebook "friends" had unconsulted him in a group of an association that advocates "man/young love."
"At no time was I asked if I wanted to join this group," Calacanis explains, "and I was never informed that I had been forcibly enrolled." "If you want to test your new features with me before you launch them, I could save you maybe a few lawsuits every year for breach of confidentiality," Calacanis adds in an ironic email he sent to Facebook officials.
In any case, the social network does not seem to doubt the advantages of its innovation and prefers to leave users the responsibility of choosing who they frequent, rather than establishing a default confirmation process that would run the risk of limiting "Groups".
"If one of our friends adds us to groups we don't feel like belonging to, or behaves in a way we don't like, we can ask him to stop, we can block him or make him no longer our friend, and so he will never have the possibility to add us to any group again," he can be blocked." a spokesman for the site, Jaime Schopflin, made known.
Moreover, Facebook will launch a remote logout option. It is ideal for cases where you left a session open on one computer, and then want to close it from another PC.
