The crowded buildings not on fire. After an exhaustive investigation of the top 100 Facebook apps, the Wall Street Journal didnt find any serious privacy violations, but the writers were on assignment so they wrote the Selling You On Facebook hit piece anyways.Reality has never stopped the WSJ and other media outlets from yelling about the dangers of online privacy.
