Violation of Privacy via Facebook

Most Facebook users post their personal information about themselves, but they do not recognize the potential consequences of their actions. There is a lot of possibility that their privacy can be violated on Facebook because all the pages including name, profile picture, gender, current city, new works, relationship, and friends list are available to share on Facebook.

Facebook users should notice that their information can be exposed to anybody on the web, and their posting and comments are shared with their Facebook friends. For example, even if they do not know their friends’ boyfriends offline, they can look up his activities and profile through the Facebook. In addition, mutual friends system makes people available to look up their posting beween them. Because of easy-accessible personal information and open communication on Facebook, the majority of Facebook users are concerned about using Facebook. They feel that that their entire life seems like an open book to the public via Facebook.
