When thinking about what privacy policy I wanted to look more into, I decided on Facebook because it is something that almost everyone uses no matter what generation they are in. This policy can be found on the website so it is available for everyone to consider. On the website it says, \u201cWe collect the content, communications and other information you provide when you use our Products, including when you sign up for an account, create or share content, and message or communicate with others.\u201d (Facebook) They want to use this information to personalize your account for others to see. Our information we put on Facebook is shared throughout the website in numerous ways including if you\u2019re active or not and many more ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first article I found, \u201cWhat You Don\u2019t Know About How Facebook Uses Your Data\u201d, I found it crazy that even if you don\u2019t have a Facebook account, they can still collect information from everyone and why is that? This is concerning and makes me wonder in all sorts of ways and made me wonder as I kept reading more into the article. It states, \u201cFacebook collects biometric facial data without users\u2019 explicit \u201copt-in\u201d consent.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next article I found is titles, \u201cFacebook monitors and tracks the locations of users it deems a threat\u201d in this article it states that \u201cFacebook monitors and tracks the locations of its users when the company\u2019s security team finds that they are making credible threats on its social network.\u201d (Kelly, 2019) I think it is great that Facebook as well as other websites watch as people post comments that could be threatening or are wrong. With Facebook tracking people\u2019s location, it could be a good and bad thing all at once. It tracts when someone posts something threatening but I wonder if it is in the time of them posting it or on Facebook, so in this case it is a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel that there are many positives and negatives when it comes to Facebook\u2019s privacy policy and this is probably for many other websites too. I do like how Facebook tracks and watches users who are using the website wrongly. I don\u2019t like how they can track everything and everyone all the time even if they are not a user on the site. There are many pros and cons all throughout their policy including some that need to be fixed or looked over by someone new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
