Facebook is a social network that allows you to post anything you want, for example; statuses, images, videos. You can see what your friends are doing simply by what they post, and they can do the same for you. Twitter is pretty much the same when it comes to sharing posts, images, etc. But you have a character limit for each tweet you send. These social networks take over people's lives because of how much they are there; but this is only one of a few major problems that arise from these networks. There have been cases where people defame each other, trying to ruin each other's lives. There are teenagers who bully other teenagers on these networks and we call it cyberbullying. Two other big problems are invasion of a person's privacy and Facebook tracking your every move. Tracking/Privacy Everyone believes that when they log out of Facebook, no one can see what you are doing or were doing. There's evidence that Facebook continues to see what you're doing even when you're not logged in. According to Matthew Humphries, cookies on your computer are a good but bad thing to have. Cookies basically use websites you like to track you. Facebook uses the Like button and the websites it is connected to to track you. (Insert source). An engineer working for Facebook named Gregg Stefancik said Facebook tracks people who use the website, but for a good cause. They track when you log in and log out to prevent spammers from hacking your accounts, prevent young children from creating accounts, and help people whose accounts have been hacked. The only way to stop Facebook from tracking your every move is to delete cookies linked to Facebook. (Insert source). It might look like... in the center of the card... a button. The negative aspects of social networks are; people can watch your every move, hack your information, you can get caught and sued for defamation if you're not careful, and cyberbullying. All people need to be careful when on these networks; even if they are funny, they have a consequence.
