On Facebook, Biggest Threat to Your Private Data May Be You

               The article I read for this week is called “On Facebook, Biggest Threat to Your Private Data May Be You” by Jacquielynn Floyd. In this article she is talking about how we provide so much information on Facebook that we are threatening the privacy of our personal data. She talks about the recent change in the terms of service on Facebook and how many people think that Facebook owns them. She points out that by posting what you are doing, where you are going, and every aspect of your life you are jeopardizing your personal information not the terms of service. I completely agree with the author. I have a Facebook, but I rarely post anything. I have friends that post something at least three times a day. Some of them post how they are feeling, where they are going later that night, and pictures. Most people have at least 200 friends and they usually do not know most of them. A complete stranger that you say is your “friend “or has complete access to your life through your Facebook. Someone could rob you blind because they know you will be at your grandmother’s for the weekend or they could stalk you because they know everywhere you are going. You decide what to post and what not to post not your terms of service so if you become more discrete about what you are posting you may not have to worry about going home to a man with a mask and a knife hiding in your closet waiting for you to come home.
