Side Effects Of Stopping Yaz

"I'm not on Facebook" social networks "

I decided to make this post because the truth is that I was surprised to read in the "New York Times" in its technology section, the following news:

"Facebook Privacy Glitch Brings New Worries " On Wednesday, users discovered a glitch That Gave Them access to supposedly private information in the accounts of Their Facebook friends, like chat conversations ... Not Long Before, Facebook Changes That Had Introduced Forced Essentially users to choose entre about making information available to Their Interests Anyone or Removing it Altogether ... Although Facebook Quickly Moved to close the security hole on Wednesday, the Heightened Breach Among many users a feeling That It Was Becoming hard to trust the service to Protect Their personal information.

.. I recommend reading the whole article because I found very interesting and maybe then we realize the real risks of Facebook, the whole story You can consult the www.nytimes.com

Coincidences of life, two weeks ago I also gave low in Facebook, as well as Jeffrey P. Ament (contractor for the U.S. government, quoted in the article NYT) I do not trust the security policy data takes place Facebook, I, who among other things dedicated to the protection data, was tired of watching constantly violates the privacy rights of individuals and Facebook for this violation to me is clear. If we read and study its privacy policy, we know roughly what to expect but if this privacy policy changes every few minutes, and there can be at least in my case, any confidence in this network. So I called attention to this news, because amongst other things, as could access information from our contacts chat certainly something that most users are unaware of or ignored, for these kinds of questions I decided I did not want join Facebook.

However, I must say that to enhance business and improve sales, such as when launching a product or service to market I think is a very useful tool, more so when combined properly with other tools like youtube, twitter or other social networks, and that could generate added value to our company as well as giving greater visibility in the market for media advertising campaign, which surely would result in increased sales and therefore income of the company. But if we use Facebook as a social network in the strict sense, ie to relate to these old friends and are friends or acquaintances who do not see much time or close friends, I think in this case is a tool when less dangerous, as no consider Facebook as a secure channel for that type of relationship, so among other things, I have chosen not to be in facebook .

windows privacy?

few days ago, I read in various media and to discuss in groups of professionals on privacy Google Buzz , the new product / service Google which was released the market last February 2. Google came back into the social networking world (as it did previously in 2004 when he launched the social network Orkut ), aiming this time to develop a new network, giving rise to Gmail users and other Google products can manage and share information more efficiently and in real time. So far everything seems to be positive, however, and this part of the problem and the reason why the company has received substantial criticism is that when a user is enlisted in the service, the default application, making the user's contacts with the 40 who have more treatment through email and chat and adds to his followers to Google Buzz. This might be fine if it had not been because maybe the user does not want anyone to know that people will follow and which continues, especially if we think about countries where freedom is restricted and where it is appropriate that a person is relate to particular individuals or political trends, as is the case of lovers or private relationships that are not public in nature are those that can link users to members of competitors, journalists and their sources, doctors and patients etc., make those public lists can create serious problems

IMHO, Google does not seem to have done so in bad faith or knowingly or above certain ethic to achieve greater acceptance of the product in question or a better return it, I think it was an oversight in the rush to provide a more efficient and user friendly. However should care more for the privacy of its products, it is a subject which has received criticism and by his own competitors like Facebook and also have previously received. Also worth noting that the privacy or data protection is an issue to be taken into account in the European market in order to comply with the law force and the willingness of users if they wish to maintain the privacy of what your contacts.

Finally, I believe that although the service benefits are substantial, we must also consider the cons that it entails. Also stressed that, as happens with other social networks in order to maintain the privacy standards is highly recommended to learn before our rights as users of the same well as the tips and manuals from protection agencies data are provided to users (AVPD , AEPD ).

Before to finish this post, I checked that from the Gmail Blog , and there was no response by Todd Jackson the wave of complaints from many disgruntled users, it explained that the original intention was to disseminate the way Buzz "quick and easy, so that users do not have to create a network from scratch." However, as published "The Country" a week ago: " Information Center Electronic Privacy ( EPIC) of the United States has filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) arguing Buzz violates federal law protecting the user. The EPIC complaint urges the FTC to complain to Google Buzz is a completely independent and stop using private contact list from Gmail to compile lists and create the network in addition to giving the user a "significant control" over their data personal. "This is a significant blow to the expectations of privacy that users have. Google does not should be allowed to use the personal information of users to create a social network that they have not asked," said EPIC executive director Marc Rotenberg.

hope that this unpleasant situation, the Google team draw the appropriate conclusions not to happen again this sort of thing, and that social networks can be very good, but should never be windows for privacy.
