Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.Most Facebook users dont realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what theyre paying for Facebook because people dont really know what their personal data is worth.The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you keep everything private. That was the great thing about facebookyou could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many thingsyour city, your photo, your friends nameswere set, by default(默认) to be shared with everyone on the Internet.According to Facebooks vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people dont share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed.Who wants to look at ads when theyre online connecting with their friends?The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator(议员) Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy is only the beginning, which is why Im considering deactivating(撤销) my account.
