This article is a must read!

LAST week, Facebook filed documents with the government that will allow it to sell shares of stock to the public. It is estimated to be worth at least $75 billion. But unlike other big-ticket corporations, it doesn?t have an inventory of widgets or gadgets, cars or phones. Facebook?s inventory consists of personal data ? yours and mine.
We need a do-not-track law, similar to the do-not-call one. Now it?s not just about whether my dinner will be interrupted by a telemarketer. It?s about whether my dreams will be dashed by the collection of bits and bytes over which I have no control and for which companies are currently unaccountable.
