Is Facebook damaging your reputation with sneaky political posts?
http://j.mp/Mo6UoS (ZDNET)
"If you actively share a link, a post, or a photo, you expect that
shared item to go out to your friends immediately. In this case,
however, the posts are going out under your name because at some point
in the past (in some cases in the distant past) you visited a page and
clicked Like. Yes, you voluntarily Liked that page and made it part
of your Facebook profile. If a Facebook friend wants to go through
your list of Likes, they can learn that you like the NRA or PETA or a
seemingly innocuous group that you probably didn't realize was funded
by Karl Rove's political action committee. But I doubt that you
expected that simple click to result in a flood of posts under your
name months later."
