Comment on Tell HN: Every photo in Facebook is somewhat publicly accessibleparent

Comments

I found something interesting, there are four options in facebook for sharing photos 1. everyone ( of course on facebook I thought) 2. friends ( of course on facebook) 3. friends of friends ( again of course on facebook) 4. only me ( :) ) . So I don't find reason for giving access to anyone not having a facebook account and hence taking off control of the content.

You are stuck on this notion of publishing the link being "taking control of the content in ways the publisher didn't want" because you feel like you found this FBCDN link thing and it's captured your attention.

But in fact you lost control of the content the moment you published it to your friends (or whomever) on Facebook. We're just talking about 2 numbers, one 136 bits long and the other 73,720 bits long. I don't think the difference between these two numbers is worth arguing about.
