Peter Kafka over at Silicon Valley Insider offers a modest proposal that could help resolve (or mediate) the blowback from unsmiling faces just now waking up to the feeling that Facebook supersized the back door to it's "Beacon Program" from the gitgo. Being one of the pedos viejos Kafka mentions in his piece, I can take exception with my best Gallic shrug. For those born after Super Bowl XV Enterprisers who can't find the toggle for the wayback machine, check out the last really big "back door Gate" called Promis or Inslaw, and discussed at length by Wired during its infancy. The ripples are still being felt today. But with the Euro worth a buck and a half, containment PR comes cheap for sharp money mangers like Facebook. They won't have to worry about schmoozing the Entertainment Tonight (ET) crew cuz the only back doors they watch are at the Bel-Air Hotel. Laissez-les bontemps roulez!
