This article "Facebook is Using You" written by a law professor Lori Andrews, is about how facebook has a way of hacking into peoples accounts and seeing peoples supposedly private information. It's not only facebook that can do this but google and g-mail hind ways to hack into peoples private accounts and messages. Andrews is trying to explain to us that we should be more careful, and educate by telling us that what ever we do online you can be easily tracked.
She stated, "Facebook makes money by selling ad space to companies that want to reach us. Advertisers choose key words or details — like relationship status, location, activities, favorite books and employment — and then Facebook runs the ads for the targeted subset of its 845 million users."
I myself have a facebook but don't really go on it as much as I used to. Since I don't put all my information online I'm not really worried about what's going on and for the post that I might put on Facebook is not inappropriate so I don't really have much to worry about. There are times that i worry about putting certain things on there because people like to whole you against things you might have said in the past and didn't really mean, I worry because if my friends our family see what I have wrote on my wall they their not the only people that would know, in my family once one person knows everybody knows.
