Security on posts can be edited after the post has been made -- LJ does this, it's a key failure of G+.

And Facebook has the same failing. Plus FB is dodgy about actually correctly applying the security you ask for (like blocking one person from one post and they can still see it >.

FB does its best to make it IMPOSSIBLE to hide anything.

They've also eliminated the easy route for blocking Stupid Game Posts. Used to be you moused over the edge of such posts and you'd have the ability to hide such things from each game entirely. Not so any more.

I have that back now on FB - it went for a while.

My current annoyance is figuring out why people are seeing posts I make to groups that they are not in (and vice versa) - but not ALL such things. I get musical things but not (e.g.)ice hockey or morris minors.

Damn Zuckenberg - I'm perfectly sure the entire way Facebook works, the driver of Facebook's whole philosophy, is because, when he was younger, he got left out of what people were doing, they didn't tell him or invite him and he is on a mission to 'fix' this for everybody else.

and FB doesn't let you edit your OWN posts, just delete them. Which as someone who typ(o)es fast, drives me mental..
