… put nude pics on the internet, other people can see them? Oh my god!
That’s what people are basically saying about Facebook these days. I’m not a big Facebook user, but I do have one – and full disclosure, I know someone who’s workin’ for them temporarily, though that hasn’t changed my outlook on the site.
Nope, apparently, there’s a bunch of really smart (HURRRRR) folks out there who have figured out that you should probably avoid using Facebook if you care about your privacy.
Wow – what an earth-shattering revelation. I guess it’s news to these folks, like you should avoid sunbathing if you don’t want suburn, or avoid working in an asbestos mine in 2009 if you don’t want Mesothelioma.
I shudder to think at the magnificent amount of idiocy it takes to think you can go post everything about yourself on the internet (on a “semi-private” site or not) and then be horrified when it shows up elsewhere on the internet.
Or better yet,the skanky girls (and guys) who put naked pictures of themselves on the internet in a locked photobucket, or something like that. They must rationalize it, “oh it’s only in my photobucket” or something. Stop thinking like this right now.
You’re not posting something “on your facebook” you’re posting it on the internet, using facebook. That’s what’s broken here folks, not Facebook’s care (or lack thereof) for your privacy… the expectation of privacy you have when you post your pixelated genitalia on the internet and the shock you have when it shows up “on the internet” is completely and utterly retarded.
Don’t post anything on the internet if you’re not prepared for everyone on the internet to possibly see it.
