I just noticed that my activity of Windows Live is public, and it is really horrible to let everyone to see what I am doing with my network. So I go to "Permissions" page of Windows Live to see how to set limitations on who have access to my activities. It is really absurd that there is NO such option!
You will have the idea that you have full control of your information when you access the "Permission" page, because you see a bunch of items for you to set access control for each of them and they are listed in four major categories: Profile details, Invitations and Communication preferences, Your stuff, What's new. Wait, there is a option labeled "What's new". Let's see what we can do.
Choose which of your activities (like posting photos or adding people to your network) that you want others to see. You can remove individual items and/or remove all future items for each type of activity.
See where the problem is? I can only choose what type of information I want to share, I CANNOT choose whom to share with. And if I choose not to share my activities, then people in my network cannot see my activities neither. Share with the public, or don't share anything.
Since I need to interact with my friends, I will share my activities and it is indeed a violation of privacy of putting all the information in public. I will inquire the software company for such ABSURD policy.
