The first social networking website that people access just before going online and with approx 1 billion members to its sleeves is obviously Facebook. No matter how many times we have read about being obsessed about using that website many teens and tweens even young generation can’t stop going online and can’t stop with their obsession. It actually is no obsession it is a matter of having all their friends at one platform and the ability to leave messages, chat, share and collaborate on a medium they have been using sine early years of their growing up.
Facebook has been criticized over recent policy changes and it is clear they have taken away the democracy rights from their members and looking at it this way that for a policy change they needed 30% votes of the total membership that is plus 1 billion is unrealistic as well. As their user base increased and their company worth, there will be changes and it is the users who have to decide how much we will be sharing online now versus what we shouldn’t be sharing! Those times were different when our tween or teen shared every photo and irregular details on their walls and such times have far become extinct.
Manual setting for each post perhaps
Facebook has a data use policy that mainly surrounds around how they can use personal data for their advertising income and among their affiliate businesses. It seems they can share, use and store everything unless we manually change settings under each friend in our list, friends of friends list, groups and people who we tag. They have provided for custom privacy settings and even each post has a button just next to post option and it is advised that careful thought is applied before sharing things online today as these setting don’t come fool proof.

There are new and old hoaxes on the web
Recently people have been posting messages about copy rights on their Facebook profiles which are a hoax as by posting such copy rights on Facebook doesn’t change anything.
