Talar Kazanji- Facebook Exodus

Facebook has a major advantage of connecting different kinds of people from different locations, but is it always true that Facebook enhances communication? In some cases, as the article discusses, communication in real life is cut off. Many people communicate virtually through Facebook with one another, but face-to-face verbal communication is absent. Facebook creates some sort of gap between the person you act as on the internet and the person you are in reality. For instance, I know people who act as my good friend on Facebook, but in reality, they do not even greet as they pass by. 

Also, Facebook claims ownership over any user's profile information. The photos, videos, and personal information we post on our profiles give Facebook the right to own them and use them willingly. This sounds like a scary thought to me, because this just proves that no matter how private you go on Facebook, it is not enough. 

This contributes to the issue of privacy. You never know who is on your profile and what they might be doing with your personal belongings. Many people choose to go public, without any limitations to the profile; therefore, this gives you a sense of violation that you are being stalked. Facebook's privacy is not much of an effective form of keeping the information to yourself and to your friends, because in any other case, Facebook, itself, is given the right by you to keep track of your information and the things you choose to do in the community.
