Facebook is using you
The article i read "Facebook Is Using You" by Lori Andrews was very interesting to me. A lot of things she pointed out was a lot of things i have never thought about and she made me think about things more in detail. she told me how Facebook makes money and at one point she actually made me feel like i did not want a Facebook anymore. she made it known to me that almost everything you put on Facebook can be used against you. like have you ever noticed that when you post a status or even when you send messages privately like though inbox you get these little advertisements about something you wrote like say you post about shopping an ad for shopping, malls, a variety of different stores or even gift cards might come on the side of your screen. also when you apply for a job they look you up on the internet and if they find you on Facebook it might not be a good thing because they categorize you in various different ways from what you like or what your bio is on Facebook or your sex, your age, or even your race. and because of the internet people can find almost everything about anybody. i think it is important for everybody to be aware of this and that you should only put certain things on the internet to save your future.
