Modern social media sites are constantly changing ever since I could remember.  When MySpace was the place to be I remember people complaining about privacy, they didn’t want there comments to show or let people see their pictures.  People figured a way to do through the means of either MySpace giving them the option or just customizing their profiles.  Facebook was started for college students but it expanded and drew in a big crowd.  At first no one seem to have a problem but after a while people want new things and find things to complain about.  When using a social media site there is not much privacy and if you don’t want people to see certain things then certain things shouldn’t be posted.  Facebook is constantly changing and making it able to privatise your profile as you please giving you the option to choose who sees what.  People always seem to find something to complain to change things yet when change happens it becomes an outbreak.

Facebook went through a lot of changes since it had first started. Facebook was first intended just for college kids and just like every social media site little kids tend to take it over thus changing the main idea for a site. The privacy setting have also changed, but as I use Facebook I’ve never touch them because i really don’t post things I don’t want to be posted. The problem people have with their privacy is that they don’t keep it private and just post it for the entire world to see, but once someone they don’t want to see it they complain that there is no privacy.

Increasing Dislike for Facebook – HW# 6 Destiny Modeste

Posted on September 30, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Being a user of Facebook, I’ve noticed all the changes discussed in “Facebook Privacy Trainwreck” by Danah Boyd. I too, have become unsatisfied with the constant changes they make to the site. The other day I was trying to figure out how to prevent people from commenting on photos or statuses because I have friends that do say inappropriate things and unnecessary comments, and noticed that facebook had taken that feature off earlier this year. I believe that is one of the worst things that have come with the update. I also hate timeline. In the article, Boyd discusses about a queer group and how people couldn’t notice if you joined or left it; timeline now allows people to know everything you do and when you do it, on which day or year. Facebook has become the ultimate site for stalkers and the youth who are using it are just letting them know everything they want to see/hear. Facebook privacy is bad but you agree to those terms when you first click “Sign Up.”

Facebook have become the biggest social network over the years, but during 2006 Facebook did have their flaws. The “News Feed” was the biggest problem that has followers or user to be concerned about using Facebook; it’s becoming an invasion to people privacy. People can see their friend’s relationship status, recent post, etc.; it’s mostly that people have access to other people private information. This also makes the user have less option of what they can hide or not, and this kind of leave them in public eye. I do think that “Newsfeed” is way over the top and it makes you feel uncomfortable to see you friend business (it’s kind of weird) but still you on a social Networking if you put something on the surf web it not private anymore.
