Homework #6 – Charles Baculima-Castillo

I learned that on September 5th, 2006 Facebook launched a new feature called “News Feed” which angered many people because they saw it as an invasion of privacy. As a result, this led them to create groups and pages within the Facebook website itself that were against the new feature. I never experienced this myself because I joined Facebook in 2011, which was a lot later. I disagree with the Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, on saying that all the information on someone was public anyway. On a technical standpoint; he is right because all the information on the News Feed can be viewed on everyone’s individual profiles, but people actually had to put time and effort to find certain information. With News Feed, everything little detail is added to that page which is accessible when someone enters Facebook and log in.
