Wk10 - Trust and Reputation

Here's my questions for this week:

1.) With regards to last week's article "A Day Without Facebook" and this week's articles on trust, how trusting are you with your personal information on the web? Do you post a phone number? Do you have a "locked" profile?

2.) Currently, facebook has restructured it's Terms of Use and Privacy Policies and is attempting to use a "town hall" approach to rewriting it's terms of use and privacy policies with over 10,000 members in each group. They have also created a bill of rights for facebook group which has nearly 93,000 members. This being said, does the social network define the rules and norms of the community in social networking sites or are those rules and norms simply set within a broader rule base that the technology creates have set in place? Do we trust those rules inantely because we believe they know what they're doing?
