facebook

facebook::Complicated settings::::If you
would rather not have your intimate details shared with complete
strangers, all you need to do is to spend a couple of years researching
Facebook and earn a doctorate while you are at it. Because that's how
complex the new settings are, completely baffling the users to the point...
when they simply do not care about privacy anymore. There is also the
old issue of having to share ALL of your information with the users of
an application every time you want to add it to your profile, even if it
is a simple quiz. If you thought that was the worst
of it, here is more. Even if you do eventually gain mastery of the
Facebook applications and Even if you remove the information from your
public profile, all your likes and dislikes are still stored by
Facebook, so it knows what advertisements it can bombard you with. Also
a new change allows for information to be shared with other websites
while you are logged in to Facebook. For instance, if you visit a
website such as CNN's website, a small widget on the site allows you to
receive updates from friends directly on to the site. However, it has
been decided not to share your private information with those websites –
yet. With Facebook changing its privacy policy every few months it is
impossible to know what can be expected of it.
