In this article, the author first quoted from the Facebook founder, Zuckerberg, indicating that people nowadays tend to share
themselves on the internet, and saying that privacy had to be evolved.
Then the author argued that when Facebook decides to redefine the meaning of
privacy, it changes the original statement of establishing a social network
between the Ivy league.
Also, the author mentioned the launching of the
“contentious advertising system”,
which allowed advertisers to track Facebook users in order to search and collect
potential buyers. Although this system made Facebook lose a large amount of
money in its lawsuit, the business behind the system might bring more than what
people can imagine.
Emphasizing that Facebook has revealed more
and more function for the public, it is not surprise to see some naïve users
happened to do embarrassing things only because they think they launch
information in private, which is actually reaching to public.
At last, this article claims that the attitude
of privacy in young people can be misunderstood. The sharing of young people
don’t mean that they don’t care about strangers invading their private. They
tend to share themselves on internet because they think they can have their own
space without disturbance. And Facebook offer this illusion. So when teenagers
think that they create a private social circle and put everything on Facebook,
they are actually exposing themselves to the craving advertising company.
The success of Facebook is established on users
trust and reliance. When it starts to transform or even sold out user’s
information to advertisement, but only explaining that they are following world
trend and breaking social norms. It somehow cheats on the users and also
betrays the original trust at first. Some online users even say that all we
need is a new social network to embrace rather than exposing ourselves nakedly
to others.
