I aware about this issues a long time ago , but I still
using Facebook to get connected with my friends. From my point of view , a user
can do a lot more to protect his or her privacy while using Facebook though.
For instance, phone numbers and addresses should never be viewable on a
person's profile. The same goes for email addresses and other thing about our
privacy life information.
On top of that, a user should consider providing a random
email address as a Facebook login for his or her account so that the primary
one is never compromised. There are a lot of other things that a Facebook user
can do to keep themselves safe.
Sure, there are plenty of concerns over privacy when it
comes to Facebook, but that does not mean the site is very dangerous or
anything like that. Millions and millions of users access the site each day and
do not have too many problems.
Right now,the biggest issue is that so many users hurt their
own privacy and safety by providing incriminating posts and photos, listing too
much personal information, or something else. To be honest, privacy should be
the main concern of every user.
The custom setting allows you to customise your sharing to
the extent of excluding specific people.
Unfortunately , I can’t
quit Facebook , but am going to be VERY VERY careful what kind of
information I comment, post, answer questions on, etc. from now on, as well as
keeping an eye on what my personal profile looks like from an non friend point
of view.

I agree with Nurain about providing a random email address..I think, everyone must have a primary email for the important things while secondary email for the social media or others that not so important. The social media like Facebook, always sent an email to notify us that there is a people comment on your status. Sometimes, it annoys the user when it mix up with the important things..
ReplyDeleteYes , it true it annoys me when it mix up with the important things... Facebook always sent an email to notify us that there is a people comment on our status , pictures...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ain about the issue where people should not let their important information such as phone numbers, Addresses and also e-mails to be view able. But wouldn't it be better if they don't put their important information at all on facebook? I'm saying this because some application that we want to use on facebook will have access to our information.. which does not sound secure at all ;(..
ReplyDeleteOh!! If you are quite concern about receiving thousands of notification on your e-mail from facebook(when people comment on your status or pictures), you can always change your facebook setting.. Just go to your account Setting then go to notification... there you can change all the setting about notifications! I also use my e-mail for important matters and also facebook.. But I think it will be much safer to use secondary e-mail :O
Point well made. The internet is a medium that depends on how we use it; we cannot blame Facebook for its storage of data. It is the mind of the advanced users and technologies that allow them to gain our information. Also, we are the ones responsible for the content we publish.
