Facebook Privacy issue

Online privacy has always been a topic since the early days of the internet. I'm aware of this since the days of Friendsters. As the young kid I was, I took the advise of my elders to be extremely cautious about the internet. After multiple debates over this issue, I have stopped being active in social networking sites such as Friendster until the re-emergence of another nemesis named Facebook and it is not like I have the choice in order to keep myself updated with the latest news about everything.

Anyway, since I rejoined the cyber-metropolis of Facebook have always try not to keep updating my profile as it might garner unwanted attention. But these days, as companies are checking out their potential employees through Facebook. I have to be more active and careful with the status updates and even the news that I click as the whole world can see what I'm up to. Moreover, with that fancy new facial recognition on Facebook, I have to even be more cautious about pictures taken! As its functions outweighs the risk involved, 

I cannot afford to just delete or give up on social networking sites as it is the "it" thing right now. Therefore, it is wise to take extra careful precautions to reduce the risk of unwanted information to leak to the internet. 

As they said, half truths are not whole lies.
