In the article, Naked in the ‘Nonopticon, it discusses how Facebook’s users had an uproar when Facebook put newsfeeds on other spaces. I have a facebook, and I personally did not have a coronary when this occurred.
1. The stuff you put on Facebook is your own personal information; and therefore, you can either have privacy settings for it, or allow the information to go all over the Internet/Facebook world.
2. It is your own choice if you have a Facebook in the first place. Be selective and cautious of the matter that you put on the Internet. Like the boy who had to move to a different place because of the video posted about him.
3. The Internet can either help us or harm us. It is up to us which one it will be, and how we can use the Internet to our advantage.
I like Facebook and Myspace. It helps me keep in contact with my friends that I do not have a chance to see very much. But I am selective of the information I put about myself on the Internet. I am selective in choosing to whom I accept as “friends”. And all of this, helps me create a more efficient, and safer online community, at least for myself.
