“Our view is that it’s not about privacy protection but about giving users control over this valuable resource — their information.”  - Ginsu Yoon, Bynamite.  http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/18/business/18unboxed.html?_r=1

Esther Dyson posted a pointer to this piece entitled "User-Managed Privacy Tools." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/esther-dyson/release-90-user-managed-p_b_650383.html

Esther says "It may be simply that its time has finally come... Facebook et al. have accustomed users to managing their own data - and Bynamite wants to help them to do that Web-wide rather than merely on Facebook (and all the places it reaches with Open Graph). Behavioral targeting is also gaining traction recently; it's the same idea, except with the marketers in control watching the consumer surreptitiously rather than communicating with her."
