Danah boyd, Facebook Privacy Trainwreck

No matter how many times any website has “Terms” to agree on, they never really go along with there own terms. Facebook has terms that says there is “privacy” involved, yet everyone knows everyone else secret. I like the way researchers from AT&T created a “robot” to collect data from facebook users, and making those pieces of data go public. Finding out that a mole was sent out into the social-network makes facebook a form of a panopticon, where you never know who is looking. The people are the ones viewing everyone’s post and updates and image uploads, are the ones that have full power to destroy the privacy of one user, making every user petrified of uploading and posting. Personally I wouldn’t even type in any part of my private life nor post any private pictures. Point blank, just don’t post anything you want people to know. Society is too addicted to posting and sending and commenting that they forget that out there somewhere, anyone can steal an image or use there words against them. Just don’t say or show what you don’t want people to see or hear. That’s my best form of prevention for privacy not being so private!
