Facebook Exodus basically discusses the negative side of Facebook, and uses real life examples to back it up. Having read this article, and "with friends like these ", it is safe to say that Facebook is a growing force on the web. Many people feel as though Facebook has set them apart from one another rather than keeping them connected. And thats not the only downside, Facebook used to claim permanent ownership over every user's contribution to the site, although that law has been adjusted, they continue to save our information, photos, videos, and everything that we post on our profiles. In other words, Facebook has a saved profile about each one of it's users.
Facebook has blurred the line between private and public. Even when privacy settings have been regulated, according to the article, "Postings that seem private can scatter and slip unpredictably into a sort of semi public status. "
Despite the fact that I am not a big fan of Facebook, I still have my own account which I check on a daily basis. Facebook has helped me find many jobs around Dubai, and it continues to do so. It also helped me get in touch with old friends and family abroad. There are many things I do not like about Facebook, but it also offers a lot of advantages as well.
