In his non-book-review of Garret Keizer's new book, Privacy, "Reason" Magazine correspondent includes this ill-informed quip on privacy:

Washington Post might appreciate my take on how Facebook talks about privacy in tomorrow's San Francisco Chronicle: The Privacy Machiavellis. Good

I believe this is an interesting cover-up of what we already knew: privacy is money and corporations like Apple, FB, MS are at war with each other. The playground are we - the average user, and in the end it's all about power, control, and profits. It's scary how big these companies are getting!
