Thanks for sharing this. Yes, I do believe that though these online communities do foster a sense of "community" it also have made lives more transparent. My biggest concern is that there could be "researchers" out there who are using such updates for non-benevolent means. If I was a parent, I would be very vigilant on this little privacy setting because it could make a big difference.
