My Facebook, My Self

Helfand, Jessica. "My Facebook, My Self". 2011. Print.

The passage was about the real privacy of Facebook. Even though some people do not have a facebook of their own, they are still capable of being viewed on the web. Some feel Facebook is a very easy way to stalk people and get to be friends with anyone."

"Even if you are super-careful---ell, even if you don't have a Facebook account yourself-say you find yourself at some random party where there's someone brandishing a mobile phone. And that someone snaps your picture. Soon thereafter, somebody with a Facebook account "tags" you and there you are-whammo- your questionable behavior rendered spectacularly public."

This thought of Facebook can seem a little ridiculous. Although it is very possible to be involved on a picture and tagged, the chances are they aren't going to know the people you know. In addition it would be difficult to be in a picture taken by a mobile phone because the quality for most picture camaras aren't that good. Besides that however the possibilty of someone seeing your picture is very possible. Whenever I surf the web and login to my Facebook, there are usually a lot of posts by people i do not know very well. Sometimes I go to their page and look at their pictures and there are so many random people. There are millions of users on Facebook and it is interesting that nearly every person who has an account is searchable. With Facebook, it is very easy to see updates of everyone and anyone. It is also easy to see pictures of random people and videos people share with them. Facebook to me is a very interesting website. Nearly  anyone can keep in contact with people on in one website. With an account you are able to talk, send pictures and video, and even find people you don’t know.
