Team 4/ 1. People who use Facebook absolutely have a claim to privacy regardless of their chosen use of Facebook. Facebook was meant to connect people, not use their personal, and in some cases, private information for their own financial gain. On Facebook’s homepage it says “Connect with friends and the world around you on Facebook” key word connect. People have the choice to have their profiles on private which is why it is a legitimate claim to privacy. There are plenty of steps to keep a person’s profile private to people they do not know; this should also include Facebook themselves. People came to Facebook to share information with people of their choosing and only them. By choosing to enroll everyone in the company to company information sharing fiasco they in a sense broke that agreement, some would argue that they broke that trust with their client or subject. When everyone signed up for Facebook it was to be connected to the ones they chose and wanted, otherwise the friend requests and privacy settings mean nothing if the information is to be shared regardless from the beginning. If a person chooses to have their information private and/or available to only their friends and family, then those are the only people who should be allowed to know their personal preferences. However with that being said, people are using the services of Facebook and agree to their terms. People need to be considering that when they decide to post something. Technically, Facebook can give out people’s information if they change their terms and agreements and get people to accept them. Let us be honest hardly anyone, if anybody at all, will actually go through and read every words in the terms and agreements. To a small extent. If someone posts their personal information to social media it is now there for the world to see and no longer personal. That is their own fault and should monitor what they themselves post. Those who choose to keep their information public would be better targets for personal ads, with at least the option to opt in could be utilized. 2. The Sharing privacy tool is great for keeping normal individuals out of your information without your consent. Using the sharing privacy controls can help preserve one’s privacy on Facebook by allowing the user to choose who can see their profile, posts, and other personal information about themselves. When a post is shared, the options to keep that particular “share” are public and private. Private meaning only their friends can see that that person shared a website link and public meaning everyone on the web can see it. Some people do not care if the world sees their page and others prefer to only have people they know to have access to their page. Also as the video mentioned, the user can make their information be kept from outside sources. It is ineffective because most of these privacy settings are pretty difficult to find. The news lady put up I think it was 5 steps to get to the settings they were looking for. So unless you know what you are looking for, there is a possibility you won’t ever find these specific privacy settings where Facebook is selling your information. The downside of choosing to opt out is that unless you opted out at the very beginning when people didn't know they were already enrolled in this
