AUSSIES join worldwide revolt against Facebook after "friend" link to Sydney teenager's murder. The campaign focuses on the fact users have to change 50 different settings to stop the site from sharing private information with third parties.Although it has gathered just 3700 fans, QuitFacebookDay is expected to become one of many worldwide rallying points against the social network as media scrutiny grows over its perceived willingness to share users' information outside the site itself.Police in Australia have even taken the unprecedented step of telling users to not show themselves in profile pictures after the vicious murder of a NSW teenager.Sydney teen Nona Belomesoff was allegedly murdered by a stranger she met on Facebook.Det Supt Peter Crawford of Taskforce Argos, the unit which hunts online predators, said photos should be removed from public view."I don't think kids need to have a profile photograph on the internet," he told the Courier-Mail.
