SOCIAL NETWORKS, DO WE GET PRIVACY?

First entry done! let's try the second one!

I'm not sure about the result in the first one, i'm just writting and writting and maybe doesen't makes any sense, but if it does for me blogs are meant to be a personal page so..

Next topic i want to discuss it's social networks, we've dedicated quite a long time to them and honestly it's one of the topics i've enjoyed more. Maybe i've enjoyed it more because i find it more close to me and my everyday life. We've a parallel life in the network!

I remember when tuenti and facebook were becoming more popular i used to have a fotolog where i upload my pictures everyday and that was it. I started hearig people abou tuenti about how fun it was " you can upload more than one picture per day" say the people. I always refused to create one account, " you are adiccted" i used to said, but i finished school and i was going to london for a hole gap year! and i started wondering how i'm going to keep in touch with all my friends! So i decided to create one so i can knew about their lives here in madrid.

What i want to say with this story? maybe you've found it boring, senseless, or both. The truth is that i finally create an account to feel i wasn't outside to keep in contact with all of them. But this 'keep in contact' has also a part of pure gossip. Start page in your tuenti or facebook account: you can see evry single change or upload in their profiles so you just click on them and start knowing about their weekend who are they going to meet today at five for a beer... i don't konw. And this gossip it's fine if they're your true friends but the truth is that more than just your firends can acceed to your profile and not only them you've part of your life published on the internet! have you ever tried on google yourself the first things that pop out are yout facebook accounts!!

It's true that all the SSNN(social networks) have their privacy policy but your profile can be hacked! ther're people who sell data. So my solution it's to be careful with what you publish at your profile. How much do you want people to konw about you?


Maybe i haven't explain myself as good as i wanted so here i left you some articles on SSNN privacy:
