TOPIC DISCUSSION 2 (Week 11)

Facebook's privacy issues!


-Are you aware of this? 
-Would you still stay on Facebook after knowing this?  
    All I can say that I was actually quite aware of the privacy issues in any kind of social networks. I've known about this matter ever since I was in secondary school. I have heard about this on the newspaper. That is why I do not want to sign up to any one of the social network including Friendster that was once pretty popular back then. I realised now that since we are living in a modern society, internet is the main course of our life. The latest news and information updates are always online especially since we are now often online through social networking. I have of been advised to not put too many information on my profile in Facebook. So, when I first started to sign up to my very own social network that is Facebook, I noticed that there are quite a number of information that I need to fill in but not all are compulsory to be filled up. My profile information to the public is always kept up to minimal so that people who want to get to know me must add me.   
   I would still stay on Facebook after knowing this because to me no matter which social network we choose to our liking, it will always be the same. It is up to us whether we want to be careful about what we post to our profile on Facebook. Besides that, we must also make sure to always secure our profile pictures or other pictures that we are tagged in to be private.

  1. Yes, I agree that in a modern society, most of us connect through social networking but when only certain information is displayed, not to say safe but a little safer.

  2. I agree with what you say that people should not put full information in their profile, it is certainly unnecessary and for avoiding stalkers stalking and knowing everything about you.
