newspaper article

San Jose Mercury news

In summary of the article it stated that facebook would be creating changes but allowing the user more control over who sees what.

The article was helpful to me because, privacy is a big issue when pertaining to facebook. It seems now that facebook is trying to listen to the peoples needs and that they are adapting to their surroundings. The news reports' that facebook is trying out this new system and having the public vote on it to see wether they like it or not. Technology does allow for all this communication to flourish but facebook provides too much information readily available therefore the company is trying different measures to constrict and loosen the grip of privacy policies.

  1. I could not access this article with the web adress that you provided but it does seem like an authoritative source because it comes from the san jose mercury news and you got it from the library. But your right this information that you talk about that is in the article does seem very use full because it seems like they say that their privacy levels are not as good but they will raise them. You can use this to back yourself up.
