You and everyone you know probably has a Facebook profile, and because of that fact, you can keep tabs on everything that is going on within your own little online community. When you couple that with the fact that you can jump onto Facebook from your iPhone app, you can check to see what your sister, friend, or boyfriend is doing any time of day or night when you aren’t with them. It seems that Facebook is taking its status to a new level because it is prompting all of its users to make their shared content public to the world and all search engines.
This is supposed to be something that will help users to protect their privacy, and you can now change your settings to become visible to everyone in the world. This actually seems to be something that is not regarding privacy or protection of users, but it is to help Facebook increase traffic and their visibility to gain more users. You are recommended to keep private information, including your e-mail address, limited to people who are your friends, but Facebook is encouraging users to make all of their status messages completely public to the world. The choice is up to you…
