9/10/10 Response to: Facebook and the New Age of Privacy

   This article explains how facebook is a social media that shows personal information for all to see. Facebook allows people to recieve more attention from others. Even though this article states the public are unhappy with the ways of facebook, being a facebook user, I believe there are many ways to prevent your personal information from being shared. The article mentions that there were many complains about the privacy, and Facebook did take action. The online network made changes, and added more options for personal privacy.

   I use facebook daily, and im aware of the risk. But Facebook gives options to make anything private. You can choose to have photos, videos, your wall, and anything else private. There is also an even more in depth option to choose who it is blocked from. Facebook dosnt allow anyone to automatically become your friend. The facebook user gets to confirm or decline whoever the want. Though this article does make good points about the social media and the way privacy has changed, i believe there are many things the user can do to prevent information they want private.
