From Christopher Blizzard:
I got this dialog on Facebook today and I was completely stumped. Totally. I read the paragraph over and over, trying to figure out what I meant. I read it to friends, didn’t help. Thought about it some more. It turns out that what I really wanted to do was both of these things. I want it out of my profile and I want it not to be able to read my data, either. But you can’t. It’s a false dichotomy. You can pick one or the other, but not both. In the end I picked “Remove” - removing access to the data. (Maybe.) In hopes that it would at least posting new stuff to my timeline on facebook.
This stuff is hard. No one has really figured out how to describe these interactions. More evidence that privacy decisions in our world are a completely unnatural act. We’re just missing the language and cultural context, not to mention the tools.
