Done and done.  There's been a few of these from add-ons ranging from CIS
dept-spawned (http://crysp.uwaterloo.ca/software/facecloak/index.html) all
the way to one that uses offsite links that reputation.com is now
distributing (http://uprotect.it).  Most were just aimed at messages or wall
posts.

As far as I can tell minimal use so far.  The magic is in the
user-experience I suppose.

 Personally I just spend a lot of time telling moms "The fat man sleeps
under the red stars with the lucky banana."  instead of onerously having to
preface messages with "@@", as in "@@Mom, I need some new dungarees."

Good cryptography can turn almost any service into a blind transport
medium for communication. In other words, why can't we have a
Firefox/Chrome plugin that takes everything you say over Facebook and
GPG encrypts it, doing automatic key exchange with your friends.

You could even encrypt your picture uploads, chats, etc. Then, any
compromise (or perfidy) of Facebook would not matter. This is probably
easier than reimplementing all of Facebook.
