Facebook definitely has its ups and downs and what dictates these ups and downs are the features included with it. Everything you do that is being broadcasted to hundreds of people(your friends mostly) on facebook is a feature that doesn’t exactly get along with most facebook users such as myself. I know that like myself other facebook users want to keep their privacy, but the “ticker” feature does a very good job of exposing everything you do on facebook and there is no way to get excluded out of this feature that deliberately exposes everything you do without your consent. The huge question is, is Facebook owner and founder Mark Zuckerberg really trying hard to protect our privacy? And if he is, why doesn’t Facebook add an option for its users to opt out of this ridiculous feature?

I don’t think Mark Zuckerberg was concerned with privacy issues when he first created Facebook. Like many entrepreneurs before him, they try to convince us to buy a product or use a service they offer and shell out millions in advertisements to do so. But here’s the thing: they cannot force their product or service on us if we don’t want them.
It’s ultimately up to us to decide whether we wanna risk trying out the product or service or play it safe. Same with Facebook: it provides a way for people to connect with friends and family through the Internet, but each person is responsible for what he or she posts.
