Diary 15

Today is the last week class of Critical Reading subject's Aj. Ussa. I had continued  learn about Reading News Articles from last week, Facebook. She gave us to share our ideas in class and answer the questions on the white board as same in the morning. So she wants us to answer on that sheet. I answered to 6 questions yesterday last night. This is my answering from the questions :

1. How many users does Facebook have?

There are 400 million Facebook users.

2. With what websites has Facebook recently begun sharing users' personal profile information?

the recently changes by Facebook fundamentally became to the relationship between users the social networking site. Before the has changed users had control over info. 

3.What other changes has Facebook recently made to the website?

Facebook has changed its own website to create more pages such as users' biographical info.

4. Even if you block information shared from your site, how could your personal  information still be made public?

Apparently, If we block information about sharing to another one from our sites. We still be made our personal informations public. According to the types of information listed below are always publicy available and you can decide to make public.

5. Do you think Facebook should automatically share your info, and only refrain from doing so if you know about it and go into your setting to opt out? Explain your answer.

To my thinking, Facebook shouldn't be allowed to auto share our info without the informations owners authorization. They should get a question asking if they will allow Facebook to do so.

6.This article states " Facebook wants to make money by selling user information." Do you think that is their motive for sharing your info, or is it as Facebook stated, to assist user by " Promoting social activity" by sharing your info? Explain your answer.

To my thinking, Facebook wants to sell  our info as a way to boost their income but I also feel some info sold can sometimes assist a user of Facebook social credit depending on what information they have sold or though it may also not assist them. If the user doesn't want their information given away.
