In my opinion, it is somehow irresponsible to blame Facebook
for all the privacy issues. It is totally user’s own choice to use it (Facebook)
or not. Users are also given total freedom of making choices such as: what apps to be use, what photos to
upload, who will be allow to view user’s status updates, who can view user’s
photo, which photo album will be set to “public” and which one not…etc. Hence,
we can see the decisions made are all ours, not Facebook decide for us. About
the Facebook’s face recognition technology and auto- tag photo function, there
are totally not something that will cause user’s privacy being exposed. As I mentioned
earlier users have the total freedom to choose what photos to upload. If some
cases happened like for example somebody’s naked pictures being exposed and
Facebook auto tag him/her in those photos, rather than blaming Facebook for
that he/ she should think about why are those photos on Facebook. So, should we
blame Facebook’s fancy technology making our privacy being exposed, or blame
ourselves for not taking caution on our own privacy?
Personally, I’m using Facebook mainly to communicate and
interact with friends, group discussion, and sharing funny pictures. I’m not
worry about privacy issues as I know what can be share and what not. Of course,
I will remain using Facebook.
I second your opinion! So true that it's all our decision. Personally I kind of like the face recognition feature because it's easy to help me tag friends when I've a bunch loads of photos.
