Do You Think Facebook Play With You Privacy?

Facebook in recent years has encountered some legal issues. This is because of privacy issues that have popped in recent years. The Wall Street Journal revealed the fact that Facebook, MySpace, Digg as well as other social media websites have shared user's personal data without their consent or consent. This is a grave breach of privacy rights of users who have shared their personal data without their consent and right to privacy.

The information violated and then shared is comprised of names of users IDs, names, and other personal data. It also contains professional information that is sufficient to aid marketing and advertising agencies like Google who owns Double Click to identify which group of users to be targeting. MySpace and Facebook have stopped sharing data following a probe in Wall Street Journal. Wall Street Journal. The issue first surfaced by researchers of Worcester Polytechnic Institute and AT&T Labs were the first to be aware of it in August 2009. After Wall street journal got in touch with them immediately, the changes were noticed.

It is not an unsurprising fact that Facebook has advanced by leaps and bounds so far as sharing data is concerned. If an Facebook user clicks on an advertisement that was displayed on their personal page on the site would share data like who clicked on the advertisement, and also the entire profile page of the user. If you're in your account page and click on an advertisement for a Hawaii vacation, you're giving the advertiser all information about you. 

The advertisers have however removed their hands and said that they were not ignorant of this, but that the additional information has not been used by them.

Facebook has updated its privacy policies during its history as a social network site. The recent decision of making information about users publicly available has drawn lots of criticism from the public. It is also worth noting that the Federal Trade Commission complaints have been able to gain acceptance. Users have a difficult to navigate the website's privacy policies which are like navigating a the maze. The privacy policies are so sloppy that they appear to be somewhat faulty and sloppy. The result is that users are shifting to other social networks. With Facebook being compared face to face with widespread public criticism, there is a high possibility that this could turn into a public-interest legal problem. Because data sharing is considered to be a crime in the courts of law.

The most recent change which has been released is that Facebook has not been updating its standards and policies according to the ever-changing industry standards to protect the privacy of its users. Facebook has also decided to disregard its privacy policies. What started out as a small rivulet , is rapidly becoming a swift. www.webroot.com/safe
