    More and more employers are starting to make your personal Facebook information apart of the process in getting a job. The fact that there is personal information such as religion or sexual preferences may sway the employer to discriminate against a potential employee by making decisions based on the information. The question still lingers though, is this inquiry for your information legal?

    Data shared is data glared and the whole world is ready to see what a person is socially about. Its a situation that has a lot of people worried after they are usually suffering the consequences of freely putting out their information for the world to see. It seems that these popular user friendly social site are conditioning the average user to do so and the government eye is also watching.
  •  
    I couldn't agree with this article anymore! We complain about how we have no privacy from the government and everything we do or say is being monitored but then we go an post very personal and open things on Facebook and Twitter for everyone to see. It's okay for us to do it to ourselves but once the government does something we immediately put all the blame on them.
  •  
    I agree 100% with what this article is saying. How can we complain about living in a "big brother" society, when we post every aspect of our lives on social media websites? I see some postings on Facebook from people that literally record every hour of their day, from the time they wake up, to the time they log off and go to bed.
  •  
    I think this article is ideal to make people aware, because when regarding social networks, who really reads the privacy policies and such? That being said, this is a scary thing. Sometimes we don't even realize we're posting our location all over the web.
  •  
    This article is eye opening. Most of us use social media to stay connected to friends and family. I'm sure I have been guilty of similar situations.
  •  
    wow this article really opened my eyes to how much I use and rely on social media without considering the all risk.
  •  
    It is amazing how much information people put out there. At work, we have to take compliance courses every year. Just last year, they added a couple of modules on social media, and what is expected of you in relation to the information about work that you put out there.

    This article is biased but lots of good information about HOAs. The author is against HOAs and makes it clear in the first few sentances. He does give a lot of informative information about how HOAs work and the consequenses that come with them. He also talks about the fact that you don't have a choice in whether or not you can be part of an HOA.

    The article talks about how social media has no security. Explains threats on social media
  •  
    When people sign up for an account on a social media website, they agree to terms in which it states that your information could be used for anything they wish for.
  •  
    Social media is similar to high school, both false information and information you don't want getting out can and will spread fast and the truth doesn't always get out.

HIPAA: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act - 0 views

  •  
    This act is very important in order to keep your health privacy secure. Knowing that your medical information will be secure is very important for people who wish to keep their life private and keep themselves from medical insurance fraud.
  •  
    I once worked in a call center dealing with medical records and it was very reassuring to see how serious HIPAA is taken. It definitely made me feel safe and confident in my personal health information.
  •  
    I agree health privacy is very important. It is nice to see that HIPAA is doing its job and protecting the privacy of the people

How Online Social Networks Work - 0 views

  •  
    When people talk about hacking and social networks, they're not referring to the com­mon definition of hacking, which is using malicious code or backdoors in computer networks to damage systems or steal proprietary information. Hacking into social networks requires very little technical skill.
  •  
    I believe that there should be an increase on security with social networks because of how easy it is to hack into someones personal information!
