Remember how a little while back the blogosphere was abuzz about FaceBook’s efforts with Beacon?

Like this article about How Facebook Ruined Christmas:

A group of irked Facebook members filed a class-action lawsuit against Facebook Tuesday that said the company’s controversial Beacon advertising program violates several laws, including the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), and the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA).

I was updating my Amazon Wishlist for a secret Santa exchange, and I noticed that there was a new column for whether an item in the wish list had been purchased.  Everything was marked Hidden.  I clicked on the Hidden and the options above appeared.

How thoughtful! Amazon does right in so many ways.  And the ways it does wrong I haven’t been noticing, if there are any.
