Social Networking: A purposeful loss of privacy.
There's a lot of social networks out there on the internet but in order to narrow down the range of social networks and get a more prescribed view of how social networking can lead to a loss of privacy. I decide to based my research focus on Facebook. Since many of us have a Facebook account or used Facebook at one point of our lives, we noticed groups that people joined that are something similar to "Protect your privacy on Facebook" or "FaceHooked will make you lose your privacy." So there are a loss of privacy regarding Facebook but I will research what kind of privacy that you lose when you're on Facebook and does those privacy affect you deeply.

Facebook used to have all these privacy settings, but apparently now they took most of them off, which might be something you could look into. Also, you can make your profile unsearchable, but it can still be found when someone googles you.
ReplyDeleteFacebook is very vulnerable to outside hackers. People can make scams on facebook and it can spread like a virus. When that happens, people can lose their accounts. I hope Facebook add back better privacy settings to prevent scams.
