Facebook Photo Sharing: BAD
Facebook has penetrated our everyday life. We facebook after wake up, facebook during bus riding, facebook during lunch etc, any time any where people are “facebooking”, people are addicted to it.
We post and share every tiny thing in facebook, how’s the sun look like, how’s my shadow look like… We also share our life to people, what I have done today, what party I have joined…
Once people uploaded the photo on facebook, they can set their privacy level, which choose to show to everyone, only friends, friends of friends, only me etc. Most people believed this can really protect their privacy, however, by blogger from1stopIT.net, he/she points out that once we uploaded an image or comment on facebook, we have to consider possible "leaks" of them.
This blogger is a software engineer, he/she posted different links of his/her facebook, which he had restrict the access to only him/herself, but when we click in the link, we can still see things in the album. So this software engineer proved that when we upload things on facebook, we have absolutely no control of it.
Things that private actually is public, this blurs the boundaries between public and private. Actually not only facebook blurs the boundaries, but all online platform too. People can easily hack in the platform and see or even steal your information by using some computer program.
Moreover, private is difficult to obtain in this “facebook” world, everyone is on average approximately six steps away from any other person on Earth (Six degrees of separation ). Even you private all your albums or not upload photo, people may still find you in your friend’s photo.
So once get in the online world, in my opinion, there is not a thing call private, the boundaries between public and private has already blurred.
