Transcription of Annotation 2

So…I want to ask that how many of you ever add strangers on your Facebook friends? If you do, please raise your hand. Do you add strangers as your Facebook friends? Yes, only one? Please raise your hand if you do… ever…ok. So the number, the second question is have you ever think about one day when you apple a job, your boss will take a look at your Facebook? If you do, please raise your hand. Take a look at your Facebook. Your boss. So now you may argue that, um, you can keep your personal data from strangers. But do you just raise your hand that you add strangers as your Facebook friends. So I suppose that Facebook should take responsibility for our privacy. My first annotation took an opposite side from the Facebook founder’s talk, the Zulburk. And he argues that privacy is now a social norms, and Facebook should follow the trend. To argue his statement, I gave several examples from my resources such as the craving advertising company. And… so now in my annotation 2, I will proof how Facebook may interfere our life and privacy.

You may think that one shouldn’t put information on Facebook if they do care about possibilities of lacking privacy.  But according to my resources in annotation 2, you are actually exposed to the danger ever since you had a Facebook account. Strangers can reach your Facebook account by one single photo nowadays, and they can collect personal information on your personal data. Then they can even reach your personal ID numbers through specific government website!  

So in my resources, the professor Alessandro performed several interesting experiment, the one I just mention from the…um, from one single photo to your Id numbers. And from this experiment, I am trying to say that Facebook might leak our personal information even from the most negligible part. It can invade our privacy through indirect way.

        The second experiment I want to say is link your Facebook friends with the advertising company. The speaker in this film suggests a new promoting way. The advertisement can make two friends of your Facebook friends into one. For example, um, If I am the friends of Kevin and Robert, and now the advertising company can mix two of their face into one. So they can create an advertisement for my own that they change the face of the saleman into this mix picture. So I can… so the faces are, I don’t recognize the face, but I will feel familiar to it, familiar with it. And it can… then you may have a greater chance to pay money for their product.

        So the last part of my resources, the professor throws out a very convincing point at the end of his speech, saying that “if somebody told you that they don’t care about privacy, then you should think that they are not allowed to care about their privacy.”  So if you do think privacy matters, you are responsible to stand for your right of it. Just like the first experiment I told you:  Do not undervalue the impact of a single photo. You might get into trouble if your personal data is used by people with bad intention.

        In conclusion, we should ask Facebook to return to their very beginning purpose, that is to build a more open and transparent world in future. But we should argue that open and transparent isn’t mean that you should be naked to public. So we have witnessed the transformation of Facebook in recent years, and now we shouldn’t turn a blind eye to their disrespect manners of invading privacy.  I suppose that base on the mutual trust and business ethics, I suppose that Facebook should take care of our personal privacy. Thank you.
