PC World seems troubled by Facebook's elimination of regional networks:
"Facebook was built as a...social connector, allowing users to befriend others with similar interests, locations, schools, and more.
But as privacy concerns mount…Facebook is eliminating regional networks -- or groupings of people based on where they live…
"Regional networks granted access to wider swaths of potential friends, but therein was the concern: how much is too much? Do we really want the entire city of Boston looking at last year's Halloween pictures? Is making friends with these strangers something I want to do?
"Facebook has had more than its share of privacy problems. There's the Beacon fiasco; the lawsuits; the federal complaints; international investigations; and schemes galore. There are also...methods to protect your privacy both on Facebook and online in general.
