Users of Facebook should know that it is a social site and as well as a business site for everyone who likes business too. Users should take care of themselves too. And when it comes to confidential matters – they should think ten to one hundred times before uploading them to the net.
I am not so strict loyalty on privacy – this is Internet whether you like it or not – what ever you published on the net either it is privately or publicly – it can still be accessed by people who are genius on computer technology. Facebook is a great social place to interact with friends, family and close relatives. Unless you are a criminal or a terrorist you should have no reason to be afraid of your privacy.
For the past three years I am with Facebook – every time Facebook changes its policy, I noticed it that the site was always sending me some alerts regarding a new site’s policy or for some changes on their site’s policy. If you are at Facebook you – yourself can notice that your time-line sometimes is full of stuff and other links shared by your Facebook friends or from people you are not connected with or familiar with – but there are options found on your time-line to control them you can either hide or delete them.
Now if you are the person to share your stuff to Facebook, there are also options available like share it on public or only for your chosen friends – (under sharing to friends, the stuff will be sent off by Facebook to the users valid email addresses), this is different from sharing directly to your friends time-lines, sharing to your own time-line, to your Facebook groups and directly to your Facebook fan pages. But again, anyone who receives those stuff can still control them either to delete them or to hide them.
Of course, I understand everyone has different views and I respect for them – but again and again I would insist “avoid uploading confidential matters to any social networks and other bookmarking sites” because Internet is full of thieves. At Facebook you cannot control people who wanted to share things to you. In my case, I already deleted numbers of shared items mostly about pornography from people who are not my contact.
