Your Own Privacy Rules

There is always a certain extent in which privacy can be granted on the internet. Facebook allows users to post whatever information they want about themselves. There are terms of use and statements that you agree upon when starting a Facebook account. You can set your account to be private and only viewable by your friends which provides some security and privacy but whatever information you put out there, is out there for good.

I feel that users should know exactly what they're doing when they post any pictures, videos, or information about themselves on the internet. Its like writing in ink, not pencil when you do something on the internet. If you wouldn't want someone to judge you on the internet by something that you post, then don't post anything bad. People on Facebook constantly have something to say, whether its what they're doing, thinking, or whats coming up. People get addicted to always wanting to let people know what their doing which allows others to see it and read about it and know a whole lot about someone they've maybe never even hung out with, they just have the same class together. Long story short, Facebook provides some privacy, but the user provides the most privacy to themselves.
