An https site isn't the end all, be all for internet security, especially since facebook is often targeted by hackers. I think facebook should inform its users of the https option but also warn them that hacking can still occur.Mary T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050177321399051504.post-12725505635301997642011-01-31T14:18:06.783-05:002011-01-31T14:18:06.783-05:00It appears this feature is slowly being rolled out...It appears this feature is slowly being rolled out to users. A roommate currently has access to the feature but I don't yet (at least not without HTTPS-Everywhere). <br /><br />I recently discovered another interesting Facebook feature which I think is a similar "win" for users of the site. You now have the ability to actually download a .zip file of all the data you have uploaded to Facebook. This includes photos, wall posts, messages, comments, etc. As far as I can tell, every bit of information associated with <i>you</i> is included in the .zip file.<br /><br />Implicitly, we know Facebook retains this, because we can usually access it (albeit sometimes slowly and "buggily") simply by browsing the site. Seeing it aggregated, however, as very simple files which can be quickly browsed through, is astounding. Viewing all this data can be both reminiscent and scary, among other things, all at the same time.<br /><br />You can find the feature from the "Account" menu in the top right. Then "Download Your Information" is at the bottom of the page.Steve M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16125628523592628632noreply@blogger.com
