The solution is peer-to-peer. We should all have direct connections to our friends. Facebook as a means of communication is weird. It's like sharing your private conversations with your friends with a bunch of strangers... Facebook employees, Facebook advertisers, and who knows who else. The latest email maneuver is yet another slap in the face. Facebook are snoops!
Imagine if Facebook allowed you see who was accessing your profile. Some early social sites had that feature. It was useful and fun. But those sites were not like Facebook. Why do you think Facebook never will have this feature? Maybe because the people accessing your profile for information about you are not necessarily your friends or people you know? Lots going on behind the scenes that they do not want you to see. It all starts with Zuckerberg and his attitude. He's sociopathic at heart and as such he really has no business being in charge of so much personal information.
What's somewhat amusing about this, perhaps, is that NZ up until recently did not even have a "Bill of Rights". And the inspiration for it came from guess where? Many years ago, one of NZ's former Ministers of Justice spent some years in the US (U. of Iowa? I have forgotten) and when he returned to the Antipodes he brought the idea home with him. Though there is no "constitution", and Parliament is still supreme, NZ does have a Bill of Rights. And though it's rather unusual in a Parliamentary system and arguably "toothless", it was mentioned in this opinion!
Now, looking at this series of events: the use of the NZ equivalent of a "SWAT team" in order to take an allleged copyright infringer (with no history of violent crime) into custody (how much did that show of force cost the NZ taxpayer?), and the way they handled the evidence, it's the US that seems to be lacking procedural safeguards. Or maybe they are just ignoring them.
NZ is now put in the strange position of reviewing the actions of the country which is supposed to be the "world leader" in concepts like freedom from unlawful seizures of property; heck, they inspired NZ to adopt a Bill of Rights!
Wozniak was recently in NZ and visited Dotcom.
At least one prominent NZ musician has stated he's behind Dotcom's cause.
Whether or not it was intentional it seems the way this case was handled by whomever was making the decisions is backfiring on them on the public relations front.
