U of M Law School professor Bill McGeveran says that facebook’s recent privacy changes are causing quite the stir from the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) to United State Senators to users. While Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg claims that users don’t have a right to privacy on the internet, McGeveran points out that this creates the perfect opportunity to break legal ground on what privacy on the web entails and what it means for the average user.

Chief among critics concerns is Facebook sharing its users information with other websites. Facebook is starting with a few sites, but naturally wants to spread its vision of interactive sharing throughout the Internet.
