What Facebook’s IPO Means for Users

I was interviewed for this PC World piece on the potential impact of Facebook’s recently announced IPO on data privacy.  My take:  being a public company brings with it more transparency and more regulation, which will force Facebook to be more cautious and ultimately more open about its privacy policies.  This seems obvious to me, but there are those who suggest that being public will add a profit motive that will push Facebook in the other direction.
