Week 10 Framing: Privacy and SNS

1. Where does Facebook draw the line of an invasion of privacy when considering interest tracking for advertising? How ethical is it for Facebook to give advertisers your interests and information for direct ad tracking?

2. Why is that Facebook’s privacy policies and settings so unadvertised by Facebook? Is it just me or does it seem like the Facebook doesn’t really want you to know about the privacy policies? And also, is it just me or is all of the writing and information on how to use the settings overwhelming and unhelpful?

3. Why is it that people are more comfortable with sharing their information with the public? When thinking about how professionals use Facebook to find out information about possible employees, how exactly can they find information that you have deleted off your Facebook? Does this deleted information search actually happen? How ethical is that? Is there anything Facebook can do to change this?
