I believe at some point, you are asked if you want to "find your
friends" on
various e-services. I recall something about this, also other
platforms
using something similar, like NING.
They've all set up sharing APIs that require permission to be
granted. Once
it sucks in your data though - its in their system and likely not
removable.
There are more and more "validation" methods being used across apps.
If you
have a Wordpress based blog for example, there's a plugin that lets
you
utilize Facebook Connect for validating commenters. It is very easy
to set
up. You've ceded access control though.
I think this all boils down to the problem, esp in the USA, that you
do not
"own" your own information. Ive met reps from many Web 2.0 type
companies
that openly tell me that its all about owning the customer
information, and
giving away use of all sorts of great applications is targeted towards
acquiring this information for ongoing exploitation - targeted ads,
direct
mail marketing and the like.

there are very few "free" things in this world. First time I heard
about gmail, I thought of it as a free dose from a drug dealer (not
that I am familiar with this kind of people).
Every time somebody writes something on this list, it's indexed by
google. It may be a good thing, provided you protect what's valuable
to you. Sometimes I think of internet as a huge orgy of information,
with little protection.
