How Secure is Social Networking?
After checking worldwide roaming plans online I decided to log on to my Facebook account for some online socializing. I logged on then I began to see advertisements of the things I have checked online directly put in my face through my Facebook page. I was actually not surprised because I got to learn about this in an Audience Management class but it is just disgusting to have advertisers all over your page. Your page is supposed to be personal but I guess it is no longer news that Facebook generates billions of dollars from selling people’s information to advertisers. That is why it is easy to see that most of the things advertised to you are what you like of what you have interest in.
For those who do not know, social networking sites are not as free as you think so stop feeling that you get to socialise with your friends at no cost. The amounts your friends and you generate have turned the owners of social networking sites into overnight billionaires. I am not going to ask you to stop socialising; I will probably fail in this bid if I was actually trying to stop people from networking through the various online mediums. I only want to advise that you reduce the amount of personal information you provide to these sites. That is why you see the really smart ones amongst us coming up with a different name and with few pictures. Revealing everything about your life allows the whole world access to you. Take a minute to think about it; the whole world can access your personal information!
