Wow, the facebook thing is bad, bad, bad! Giving the username of the OP and linking to their journal is bad! Yikes!

Yep. It's dangerous. Someone could easily get hurt from that.

What's unreal is that there have been more than 103 pages of posts about this under News, and the LJ team is saying nothing...except that they wouldn't want this imposed on them. No, really. They said that:

Update: Thank you for taking the time to offer your honest feedback. We understand and appreciate your desire for privacy. We share your concerns. Most of us would not want to publish our LiveJournal usernames or FO comments to Facebook or Twitter either (to the extent we even use them). Please give us a little time to address your concerns. We are listening, and we'll do our best to respond.

O RLY? You share our concerns? THEN WHY THE FUCK DID YOU SET UP THIS SITUATION IN THE FIRST PLACE?

It makes no sense. If they knew there could possibly be a concern over privacy issues, why the hell didn't they set it up as an opt-in feature for comments and allow each account holder to determine if they wanted to allow cross-posting from their journals? It couldn't have taken that much more coding, for eff's sake!
