In the 2nd article named Facebook’s Privacy Trainwreck, the author of the article focuses only on one interesting topic that does divide into subtopics. The main topic is the privacy implication and the privacy policy change that occurred in the facebook company. The date that was available at facebook was just as an open source file that could be viewed by any one with the most correct knowledge. This is why facebook had implemented a new regulatory programs and mandated programs to up bring the confidence of FB users that do post and share personal knowledge and information about themselves in FB,.As well facebook implemented a new feature called “News Feeds” that displays every action you take on the site to your friends. You see who added who, who commented where, who removed their relationship status, who joined what group, etc. This is on your front page when you login to Facebook. This upset many Facebook members who responded with outrage. Groups emerged out of protest making it hard to follow any thread; the goal was for Facebook to explain its decision. In short, they explained that this is to help people keep tabs on their friends but only their friends and all of this information is public anyhow.facebook sharing “private” data in unexpected and unexplained new ways, but this newest problem is unusual.
