Blog Entry #2: Art Imitating Media Imitating Life

Facebook.

Facebook is a social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. In 2004, the social-networking site was originally known as TheFacebook(.com). This social-networking site is a reference book and/or an electronic directory made up of people’s names, pictures, videos, interests, relationship statuses and many more. It allows people to connect with friends and with their friends’ friends. Facebook allows people to make new connections with other people who share common interests with them.

Even though Facebook allows its users to do all those things, there are some down sides to it. People can be stalked, and or possibly cheated on by your spouse, even raped and murdered. No matter how private you try to make your page, it’s not going to be as private as you want it to be; people find their ways. But the good thing is that you tried.

It is important to protect your information from uninvited eyes and advertisers because as I have said before, you could be stalked. Another thing is that whatever you put on the internet, chances are, it can not be erased. People who might see or read it could use it against you if you are not careful enough.
