To Facebook or Not to Facebook?

With Facebook there are many different ways that it helps you, but there are also ways that it can be harmful to you. With Facebook it is really easy for everyone to stay connected and share information even if they are halfway around the world. A problem with this is that most everyone can see this information that is being put up on Facebook. Also Facebook sells your information to companies in order for them to advertise things that you are most likely going to click on because they know things about you and are putting up incentive ads that relate to you. Reading the article really helped emphasize the ability that Facebook has at controlling what you can see when you use their website and the limited amount of privacy that makes you feel a bit more in "control" of what you think your privacy is.
