  1. I dont think Facebook really cares about privacy, but if they ever get sued I think they would care. The thing I find most alarming about this artical is that when you think your making something private it might not really be private. No, I dont think i would change anything on facebook because I don't really care too much for facebook and hardly use it.

  2. Privacy isn't the most important thing for Facebook me as an avid user of Facebook is really concerned for my safety someone could hack my profile and find real important info about me.

  3. To me Facebook privacy right now is fine, there is nothing on my profile that I would not want the world to see. The question isn't whether this is right, the question is does Facebook really care about it's users. Not all of us want the privacy options, but we should have them. I do not wish to leave Facebook because I have no other means of communicating to the outside world as efficiently, but I would if there was another comparable option. I liked the facts that were presented and the information gained was beneficial to me, thank you Mr. Simmer.

  4. I do not have a Facebook and this is the reason why. I do not want people who are not my friends or family looking through photos or anything personal of mine. It is none of their business. Facebook could careless about its users unless there was like a glitch in the system or somebody hacked them. The Facebook inventor was just out to make money just like everybody else and really did not think ahead of what Facebook could do to people in the future.

  10. My thoughts on Facebook and privacy is that privacy should be more enforced, because people have a lot of important things that are personal to them on Facebook and I think they should be able to protect any information they update onto their Facebook.

  11. My thoughts on Facebook and my privacy. I think that Zuckerburg needs to get a better security system. Even though Facebook doesn't have anything on there worth losing other than a way to talk to your friends (even though most of us that use Facebook have cell phones and other means of communication) and your private conversations between them.

  12. Facebook shouldn't let other people go on your page if they don't know you or you don't know them. Facebook should let only the people on your friends list see the stuff you say and the stuff you post.

  13. I do not have a Facebook. Because of the issues and drama that is always happening on Facebook. That when you post stuff it can be spread quickly. So don't post anything you don"t want people to know about.

  18. My facebook is set on private, so anything I put on facebook can only be seen by my friends. Its a good thing that you can set your facebook the way you want to. The thing that's alarming is that not everything is private. I plan on keeping my facebook the same.

  27. I am alarmed at the fact that some of your information is public to people who are not your friends. I do not put a lot of information on my facebook especially not any personal information so Iam not really worried. I think they do need to change their privacy policy.

  28. I love the privacy because you can block people you don't like, and you stop people from looking at your post.
