The picture is a simple yet effective tool in showing the privacy relationships for social networking. The amount of privacy for just having a social networking site is good, but once you become friends with someone your privacy goes down detrimentally. This can be taken as a good, or bad thing depending on the purpose used for the site. Although it allows your friends to know a lot more about you, it also includes the stuff you don't really want others to know about you.

The paper is about how EU wants to sue Britatin for having a device that would track users. It has a lot of information regarding the many ways our information can be intercepted and used by others. The article was very informative on internet privacy and how some are trying to go against it. It is biased though because it's about going against the the internet being regulated so others can intercept our information.

This article was very interesting. It informed of the dangers of social networking sites. It is biased because its focus is on the negative aspects. I found it interesting that all the minor sites under the major social networking site that we join has access to a lot of our information. Its also interesting to realize that all the advertisements on social networking sites are such an extreme business to get the attention of consumers on the sites.

In class we discussed the fact that your picture might not be a good source because it's more of just a diagram, and diagrams are just meant to simplify down ideas to be easier to understand.
ReplyDeleteSo you have an interview, a magazine article, a newspaper article and an image. Where are the other 2? See Tom's comment above about your image. 4/6 pts.
