      Currency: this article was posted on September 27, 2010 and has not been updated (or you cannot tell). This site is good for older facts to also help to see how far a social media site has come over just a couple of years.
  • In December of 2009 Facebook made one of the most controversial changes to their privacy policy. No longer could you have a nearly invisible account allowing only those you wanted in by default. A user's profile was now publicly searchable with most of the information opened up for all to see by default. Facebook users were not pleased. Now, this isn't to say that Facebook pages couldn't be public before (they could), it was more about the loss of the choice. And that was the truly scary part.

      Accuracy: facts like this contribue to accuracy because he did his research to find this information. This paragraph also has another link put into it that leads to another article where information was pulled from.
  • Realistically, today's article is more of a wakeup call to be cautious how you use the social-networking sites and other parts of the Web that ask for personal information. It's not so anonymous: it's more public than you may think at the time you sign up for that nifty site. Remember that the Internet never forgets: not only are there public archives, but once your information has been copied by other people and saved on their hard drives, you really have lost control over it.

      Purpose: the purpose of this article is to warn people about what they put on social media, there are many ways information can be saved that you posted and come back to haunt you.
  • Let's say that you are on top of your security settings and have your Facebook page well locked down. Your boss isn't your Friend and you haven't added or been tagged in any racy or embarrassing photos. Are you safe now? Not necessarily. Glitches in Facebook's own services may still share data, especially with Instant Personalization. Instant Personalization is intended to share some of your

      Relevance: the inteneded audience is anyone who uses social media and does not believe they are doing damage to their future or current jobs. You may think your page is private and noone can see what you are posting but there is always a way around things.

      The article was updated 3 years a go, so it could be a bit outdated but the information is still great to compare to statistics we find about the current year. It shows how far this issue has come in such a short amount of time.

  • Five years ago, msnbc.com published a weeklong series that tried to get at Americans' deepest feelings about privacy. Back then, 60 percent of users agreed that privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me."

      relevance: the statistics highlighted are important to how people feel about social media privacy today. In 2006, 60% of users said their privacy is slipping away, I wonder what they are now thinking 10 years later. Is their privacy gone now? The audience is anyone with social media.
  • Alessandro Acquisti, a behavioral economist who studies privacy at Carnegie Mellon University, said he's not surprised that battle lines are being drawn around use of social networks.

      accuracy: the information from this article is coming from different studies and quotes with one from Alessandro Acquisti who is an economist who studies privacy at Carnegie Mellon University, he gives personal examples. No grammar or spelling errors.
  • What is privacy? Much confusion in any privacy discussion stems from a lack of clear definitions. When we asked msnbc.com readers five years ago to say what privacy meant to them, we received dozens of submissions. Among them: Fear of being watched, fear of government intrusion, worry over companies tracking purchases, or technology such as GPS tracking their physical movements. The most common, however, was simple, and very American: "The right to be left alone." That echoed the definition of privacy given by former Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis back in 1928.

      the reason for this article is to see what other people believe privacy is. They asked many people what their definition of privacy is and it is important that we know this. That way, we can learn how to receive that privacy by cleaning up our social media sites.

  • Social Media Privacy: A Contradiction In Terms?
  • A 2001 UCLA report, for instance, found high levels of consumer concern over online privacy in general and credit card security in particular.
  • In a Euro RSCG global survey conducted among 7,213 adults in 19 countries, we found that 55% of respondents are worried that “technology is robbing us of our privacy”; the figure was above 60% in a number of countries, including the United States and China. Similarly, 61% overall agreed “People share too much about their personal thoughts and experiences online; we need to go back to being more private.”
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Nearly half the sample (47%)—and a majority of millennials—worry that friends or family will share inappropriate personal information about them online.
  • “Facebook is a relatively young company. It’s not surprising that we found some room for improvement.”
  • Today, we happily share our date and place of birth, name of our first pet, mother’s maiden name, favorite movie or book, favorite color, first school teacher
  • Of even greater concern to many is the amount and variety of information being gathered about us without our explicit permission
  • these people typically are eager to share their thoughts via comment sections on news sites, reviews on retail sites, and in branded clubs and forums.

      it is amazing that 55% of respondents are worried of "technology robbing us of our privacy" yet facebook has billions of users and so does many other social media sites. If people are so worried, why do they have an account?

      I believe this is Relevance, it shows many facts and statistics that explain why privacy is such an issue on social media sites today and could be useful when preparing a presentation or paper with these articles.

  • "Facebook is transformed from a public space to a behavioral laboratory," says the study, which cites a Harvard-based research project of 1,700 college-based Facebook users in which it became possible to "deanonymize parts of the data set," or cross-reference anonymous data to make student identification possible.
  • Facebook data scientist Adam Kramer, of the Menlo Park, Calif.-based company, outlined what the company is learning as part of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology meeting in Austin. Its president, social psychologist James Pennebaker, of the University of Texas-Austin, says privacy is a big issue for the research world.
  • "Facebook especially, and Microsoft, is scared to death about privacy issues," he says. "A bunch of researchers have access to everybody's posts and Facebook is built on what's yours is private. They are struggling with the problem the same way as the scientific community."
  • Attorney and privacy expert Parry Aftab, of New York City — a member of Facebook's Safety Advisory Board — suggests that users shouldn't worry because the very large companies such as Twitter, Google, Microsoft and Facebook have privacy policies for users."The sites will never provide personally identifiable information unless they have the consent of the users. And there is legal recourse if they're using it in any other way," she says.
