Don’t you wish Facebook were just slightly more effective as a privacy invasion tool?
Well, apparently, you’re not alone. Some students at MIT have created a “Gaydar” program which, by analyzing the gender and sexual orientation of a person’s friends, seems to be able to fairly accurately predict when men are gay.
The program apparently doesn’t work as well at predicting bisexual men or lesbian women, so make of that what you will.
