Besides the information we give over the Internet, sometimes we put things in a text box, we change our minds and clear them... enter new ones. I noticed something in FaceBook that when I type, it is little slower to edit. For example, using back key or trying to highlight things.
I believe (it's just my own opinion) that FaceBook does keep every keystroke, and maybe looking for some specific words or something. So, even if we type something horrible which could be considered national security risk, and change our mind, delete the text, it doesn't mean no one has seen it...
...or the code they use for their text-boxes just suck... either way, I am not comfortable putting too many messages into FaceBook.

I'd go with the fact that their text boxes just plain suck.  Storing every users keystroke would take up so many resources it would be ridiculous. While obviously they store any message that is completely sent, I highly doubt would record every keystroke.

I do hope so, because it could be interesting to see what people"really" think.... it's like thinking aloud, you don't want to say those things but you wish you would... If they found a way to capture some of the words...
I don't know... Facebook site is acting too strange from the get-go.

Even though almost every organization has a Privacy Statement, it is seldom followed.
1. Google got hacked by unknown hackers in China. Data got stolen.
2. Yahoo shared private data with Chinese authorities.
3. Microsoft & Security - Never go together.
4. 99% banks Outsource their information to Third Parties in other countries who have access to every little detail on our card and bank accounts.
5. Twitter got hacked by some Iranian hackers.
6. Telephone Service Providers and ISPs share our surfing habits with NET watchdogs and other marketing firms.
All organizations make money by selling information about their customers. In short, data is not safe anywhere.

In Iran we use GnuGPG...(unfortunately i cannot write more because they use heuristic fاlterاng and pro*y tools).
it is worse than selling privacy.

Best way to hide information is to make up new stuff every time you create an account, somewhere.
That, and being a member of no social networking sites. I don't even like send email to a gmail account: you're creating a profile just the same. A little bit slower, but they still map out your life.
Never bought a thing on ebay. No pay pal. Etc.
OOOOOPS! I just gave away a sh*tload of private information about me!

Well this is the only valid answer you can give by definition, since if your wife knows your CP login password (which she would since she has your private data), then I am sure she'd also be following your posts here. So no other answer would be safe.

I find it amusing that the question is phrased in such a way, which I think illustrates people's thinking, that "they" are somehow responsible for securing the private information that "we" entrust on "their" equipment. When in reality, we have no one to blame but ourselves when we put private information on these services. We should be asking "how much do I trust myself in my ability to discern whether my private/personal information should be placed on these services?", or a question similar to that. Yes, I realize that there is a certain amount of private information that must be given to others to interact in this modern world, so my position is a bit untenable, but I think most people don't even think first whether they are making good decisions.
So, to make a pun of the subject line, we are very good at lying to ourselves that what we are doing is safe and we can trust the people around us!

Where does trust lie?
Very interesting! Most of my relationships are based on how much had I been benefited or hurt by another human. The longer someone didn't hurt me, the more I feel I trust her/him. It's interesting that there is no certain way of measuring how much my friends are trustworthy or how am I to them?

Not totally, so I would give him a 4.
I trust him to steal me blind, if he can.
So, do I trust them to what?
Be careful with my data?
Use it for their own good?

My guess: Trust them to remove your name before they give it to anyone
Oh, and trust them to make it almost impossible for anyone to steal the data.

well the sensitivity of the data varies. But with banks, paypal etc the data should be protected from hackers as much as possible if they want to keep everyone's trust.
