Facebook Apologizes

5 December 2007

A couple of weeks ago, I described Facebook’s "Beacon" system of apparent user endorsements of various products. Lots of people were upset by it; they’ve now backed down and apologized for it.

It’s good that they’ve changed things; the sad part is how long it took.
