The age of privacy is over," according to Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO of Facebook. Since privacy is sooo last century, the New York based blog, Gawker, decided Zuck wouldn’t mind having his invaded.
"All in all, Facebook's CEO doesn't seem too preoccupied about your privacy, or about ours. Likewise, we weren't bothered by the notion of tailing him around the Valley for a few days, or about sharing the experience with you. Enjoy."

Though he originally claimed that the ability to make info private was vital to Facebook, Zuckerberg has since overseen moves to make friend lists, pictures and other info public and even shared users’ info with partner sites without the users’ knowledge.
In his defense, it is his website. It’s a free service and no one’s forced to join. Most people are well aware that what you put on the Internet is not exactly private. Still, having your privacy settings changed on you without your consent is irritating and possibly unethical.
What do you think about Zuck being followed around for a week, paparazzi-style? Did he deserve it? Share your thoughts in the comments?
