Facebook’s privacy issues by Athirah Azhar
Privacy Issues
Facebook as we all know is a interactive social network that are widely used these day by all ages. For me the differences between the smart users compared to other users are by the way they control their behavior and privacy information. Most of the girls or even guys wanted to gain popularity or attention just by updating their pictures for every hour perhaps. They didn't know what they have just did to themselves.
Well most of them may just think that their privacy is safe enough due to their setting on the Facebook, only friends will know my details but how sure are you that your Facebook friends are your real friends?
Facebook privacy are now available in many other information such as the phone number. They will mention it for mobile Facebook purpose or other purpose but we don't see that we are giving our private number to a world wide community.
Those are just example of what we can "controlled" the information. But what we don't see s people with nowadays technologies can do everything to anything. They can just hacked your account by just one click. They information that you set can only viewed by "friends" now can be seen by everyone. And most worst of them all are there is a face recognition technology that they made to be easier for the user to tags photos.
For me, I do realize this privacy issue but I will still be using the social network, not only facebook but others to with mush more cautions on the privacy part. Like I mentioned earlier we decide who we are going to be? A smart user or the opposites. Everything does rely on ourselves and if the reason we used the network for good, it may be just fine for us.

I'm agree with athirah about the face recognition because it happen to me when I upload the pictures..but how sure you are about the information that you set as 'friends' can be viewed by everyone??
ReplyDeleteeven you learn hacking stuffs right? hahha maybe someone wanted to set you up and hack into your facebook account.. they can view it too.. hoping that non of my friends will do that to me..
ReplyDeleteNope, i didn't learn how to hack people's account..in the situation that you gave, its someone hacked into the facebook account..it's not FACEBOOK false to let the information being viewed by others..
ReplyDeletewhat i meant was other user hacked into your facebook to gain the information available in your account.. the facebook will only show what we approved it to be shown..
ReplyDeleteYeah, so it's not the FACEBOOK false..the HACKERS are too smart to hack others account to gain the information..
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Atirah and Farah about face recognition.. It also happen to me when I upload the pictures..
ReplyDeleteAnother thing is "only friends will know my details but how sure are you that your Facebook friends are your real friends?" so,the best way is we don't have to provide any important imformations in social network ( Facebook )... :)
You all was right about face recognition, it also happened to me before but I never wanted to tag people in those photo but the names will automatically appears and its funny because sometimes the face recognition on facebook will appears someone else name than for the real person names who is in those pictures.

ReplyDeleteWe have all been warned before accepting a friend request, that we ought to investigated the user profile before accepting it. It is a generic rule to accept requests from only people you know if we want real privacy. Otherwise, just make a different account that do not relate to your personal information so that you can perhaps investigate that person.
Thank you for enlighting us with the facebook auto face recognition. I was not aware of this because I seldom use the tag feature.
