Facebook Taps Privacy Hawk as Lobbyist

,----[ Quote ]
| Facebook's newly minted lobbyist used to be one of the company's most 
| formidable adversaries. 
| 
| As a prominent privacy advocate, Timothy Sparapani, former senior legislative 
| counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, argued that Internet 
| companies have too much control over consumers' data. The 
| self-described "privacy zealot" didn't join Facebook until seven months ago 
| because he was uneasy about revealing personal information on the site.
