Facebook

Facebook, the popular social networking site recently changed their privacy settings. When the privacy settings changed, everyone was notified and most people quickly scanned over and pressed agree because no one thought it was important. I did not quickly scan over it because i would not like other people, who i do not know to look over my profile. But, people who did not pay attention to the new settings should have been more aware. The people were lazy and did not pay attention to the settings. Now, people should be warned about the settings because there is potential danger. Any social networking site has the possibility of turning dangerous because creepy people can search your name and find you.

Privacy groups have recently filed complaints with the US regulator the Federal Trade Company over the recent privacy change with facebook. EPIC (The Electronic Privacy Information Center) stated they had been joined with nine other privacy organizations in order to investigate the settings changes which facebook recently released. Facebook has been criticized by Electronic Frontier Foundation, The American Civil Liberties, and EPIC. Facebook needs to change the way their settings is set up in order to protect their users. Facebook is the new phenomenon.
