A couple of years ago Sophos made an interesting research showing that 41% of Facebook users were happy to disclose information to strangers.
Today, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, commenting the new privacy settings on Facebook, argues (among the other things) that despite the new settings allow improved privacy it is not at all easy to understand the best protective configuration.
Again, the problem ends up being that users often aren't aware of what they need to do to protect their privacy. Probably because not everybody is entirely aware of the risks of data mishandling or identity theft.
