Facebook newsfeeds has caused a problem with the college students. Speaking on behalf of myself, when Facebook first started the newfeeds, I was upset because it was personally stuff posted. For example, if i was in a realtionship it would say who i am with, their name and etc. Just too much personal information out. Plus everyone could see what’s going on with your life. Then when I notice that you could block the information so no one can see what you dont want people to view, I felt better because I like my privacy. I feel that no one has enough privacy anywhere. I have different views on provacy. I feel that there is a lot crime that makes society place cameras up everywhere so I feel that privacy may be invaded but for a good purpose but when it comes to the internet privacy is not respected. The article made a statement about why “young people do not usually care about privacy but they care about what’s viewed on websites like Facebook” ( Vaidhyanathan 1). or myspace. I feel that young people care because of their image or because they want to keep secrets so if a girl has a boyfriend but does not want people to know then she would want to hide that for whatever reasons.
After the class discussion I was interested in knowing the fact that we reall have no privacy. Not having knowlege on the facts that where ever you may use a credit card, information is transported to the government sayin where you used it, how much you spent, who used it and etc. really made me open my eyes. Now I know we are being followed everywhere we go.
