The Issues to Face...

Recently the social network called Facebook has implemented new security measures to enable a faster and more reliable way to make your information safeter. From now on, every post or picture you put into your profile can be single edited to make it available to people in your network, to your friend's friends, to only your friends, or to everyone. It also says that the information shared with third parties will not be on account of Facebook, for the only information they share is that of the one that we give our conscent to be shared. Another thing it explains is that we have the right to delete our accounts or to simply deactivate them until we later want to reuse them without losing our information, contacts, or pictures. The last thing the statement says is that privacy settings may change according to the appropriate times. This will not really affect my use of facebook, and I think that they will be succesful as long as people use them. I like it because im very private about my information on facebook, the only thing that is public is my name and my friends, and that's just because it's necesary.

I believe that the situation with post about ASPV staff memebers on Facebook is blowing out of proportion. I don't believe that they are offensive or that they were meant to be offensive. Yes, the creator should make changes and take away the ASPV logo, Selitzer's picture, and the name of the teacher who say those quotes. Maybe it should become like a "Guess Who?" kinda thing. If staff members of ASPV posted our work or videos, depending on the content, some people might get angry or not. I wouldn't really mind because I have nothing to be ashamed of. What i believe that the school should do about this problem is not forbid Facebook but talk to the whole student body about the consequences that things like these could bring upon the kids who did this, because If the administration acted in an aggressive manner against the students, then the student's reaction would be to piss them off even more.
