  1. I think that Facebook is a very important page web for wanted friends and talk with they also you can follow the page webs that interest and receive notices the page webs that interested but you should protect your personal life in this page web. Because there people trying to spy your personal life.

  3. In my opinion, Facebook is a web page in wich you can looking for friends and chatting with them without the trouble about move you outside.
    If you don´t want people to see your photos, you have tools in order to forbid that people see it. I don´t think the fact of have the bosses´ Facebook is a bad idea because is a way to broke the teacher-student situation.

  5. In my opinion Facebook is a page to show to your friends or other people what you are doing. If you have things that you don't like the other people watch you mustn't post in it. Is truly that big companies of some goverments are looking for criminals or offenses in this places but it's like the same with you own life. If you don't make anithing bad you won't worry about. Only if you post something bad that you do is when you have a problem about this invation.
    I don't matter that the goverment know thanks to facebook if this saturday i went to a paella with my friends or wich is my birthday date.

  6. In my opinion, Facebook has its good side and its bad side, that is, on the one hand helps to communicate with people who live far away or find old friends, obviously there may be people who can access certain information that you do not want know a stranger, but facebook has security measures which can restrict your information so that only your friends see. But who knows, the information is there and can be used against us.

  7. Facebook was a blog where college students communicated and sent their jobs, today is a website where you can post pictures, make comments, look for information about a specific person, etc.. I think its a tool used to have controlled people, because everything we publish and our hobbies is stored it in a database .. why? I think they are invading our privacy. Have positive things, you can talk to people who live many km away or even know that concerts doing in your city but in general, I think that is taking many hours of reading to young adolescents and generally much time to enjoy life .

  8. I have my facebook privacy set to public since I signed in, and I'm not really afarid of who can see my stuff, because I have nothing to hide. Maybe there is a picture or two which I'm ashamed of, but nothing big (or bad) enough to worry about. Otherwise, facebook is a great tool to show and promote the things I do, like music, 3d models, animations... so I don't see the point of caring about privacy, unless you have something to hide. Finally, you choose what kind of information you put and show at your facebook wall, so it's all up to you. I mean, if you don't want other people see any kind of information about you, just don't put it on facebook.

    1. Fair enough, but what about photos that you are tagged in that you can't control? Are you sure you have nothing to hide from your boss / colleagues ; )

  9. Well in my opinion any social network is really necessary, you dont need 400 friends that you even don´t really know, maybe is more useful to have a few true friends. But it seems that everyone need to post their weekend photos and share a few words like the rest of the world care. about the privacity I think you can upload the photos that you want other people to see, and you can manage who can tag you in other photos or even block that option, so i dont think there is a privacy invasion, you are the one who is sharing your privacity

  10. I think that Facebook is a good tool to find old friends, and also to make new in theory. The privacy it isn’t a problem, because as has been said in previous posts, can be adjusted as you wish. The problem is the time consuming and superficial things. Therefore we must be responsible and know how to use for leisure or professionally.

  11. Theoretically, we are who decide to upload to the Internet how much information about usselfs, but there ´re also other things and people that, intentionally or not, upload some of that information(friends, companies...). It´s like our privacity in the Internet was divided in two pieces: we can handle a piece while the another one is under control of other people, and many times, this is something we can´t avoid.

  12. In my opinion facebook is the best social network that is easy to use and is very famous. It also has interesting games and applications. On Facebook you can upload photos, videos and talk to people in an easy and simple. You can connect Facebook with other social networks like Instagram and Twitter.
