I signed up for Facebook about three years ago and that time I was secondary school, no one (I mean around my friends) will concerned about the Facebook’s privacy, can say that many of us just like to receiving the gratification when we are on Facebook. But now people are more concern with their privacy on Facebook. Based on what I understanding from this article, it change my impression on Facebook and strongly aware me be wary of these privacy, no choice but I need to set my privacy as “to be view by friends only”. We also must know our limit, always be clear that like hand phone/address is not suitable to post on Facebook.
Actually most of the people think is private on Facebook but are public by default include Google search results and some other search engine can letting people know your information. But if your basic privacy settings are set to “Friends” you’re already covered.
Browse to Account> Privacy setting, then click on “Friends”, middle column.
This is the quickest and easier way to protect your basic privacy needs on Facebook. There are many other important security features and privacy concerns to note, but this is decent, quick solution. Being with these method other people will unable to search about your information via search engine.
For me, I think I will continue to stay on Facebook because Facebook had become a platform for me to have group discussion about assignment and I also using Facebook as my communication tool to communicate with someone that I unable to meet and discuss about some formal meeting (using FB is free compared to hand phone). Facebook also allow us to share your photos, video, status, and some information. And it has become a very important social networking for me, even I had already known this privacy issue. Truth, I think that many of us cannot stay without Facebook nowadays.
I agree what you mentioned in your post..When I starting using Facebook,I just leave it and not really concern about the privacy issue.I think this is because that time we still not really understood about the risk being hack by people...but now,many people are aware when using Facebook.
ReplyDeleteYes, Facebook is a fgood communication tool for us to communicate those people we unale to meet. And it is also a good place for us to discuss our assignment. In student life, we really can't stay without Facebook even this issue is still happening.
ReplyDeleteya..that's why even we know the privacy issue but we still continue to using Facebook. It had already become our need :)
