Why? Because a new Facebook feature automatically shares books, movies, or gifts you buy online with everyone you know on Facebook. Without your consent, it pops up in your News Feed--a huge invasion of privacy.

MoveOn Reaction To Facebook's 12/05/07 Policy Change:
"Sites like Facebook are revolutionizing how we communicate with each other and organize around issues together in a 21st century democracy.The big question is: Will corporate advertisers get to write the rules of the Internet or will these new social networks protect our basic rights, like privacy? Facebook's policy change is a big step in the right direction, and we hope it begins an industry-wide trend that puts the basic rights of Internet users ahead of the wish lists of corporate advertisers." - Adam Green, MoveOn.org Civic Action
PART OF FACEBOOK'S NEW POLICY:
No stories will be published without users proactively consenting.
If a user does nothing with the initial notification on Facebook, it will hide after some duration without a story being published. When a user takes a future action on a Beacon site, it will reappear and display all the potential stories along with the opportunity to click "OK" to publish or click "remove" to not publish.
