Google Starts Indexing Facebook Comments 167
First time accepted submitter SharkLaser writes "Users of Facebook Connect have previously enjoyed extra privacy as it was harder for Google to index comments made on the platform. Google, which also runs the competing service Google+, has now started indexing Facebook's public comments as well as comments made on platforms Disqus and Intense Debate, which all used programming that was hard for Google to read. Public comments and links made on those platforms will now be directly visible and searchable in Google."

This is more like having a discussion in a coffee shop and having 1000 random people write it down everything you said.
This failed analogy underscores that people do not understand privacy and demonstrates why Facebook thrives.

Google has a separate search page for images; why not a separate one for social sites? I do agree that I might want Facebook comments in my search, but most of the time I certainly do not.
