In class writing #9

The article is focused solely on Facebook users. I'ts all about how people who sign up for Facebook don't read all the conditions and how Facebook can give your information to third party users. How do I know this? The article only talks about Facebook users and how third parties can easily access your information from your profile. The article is responding to how Facebook can take information from our profile and sell it to third parties outside. Michael Gregoris believes that users should be aware of these third parties and know what they are getting themselves into when they sign-up. Also, he wants users to be careful of the third parties. There is a website used in the article that claims the CIA funded Facebook in some sort of way. He also provides specific numbers of how many people were on Facebook in 2007 which adds to his creditably.
This article contains logos. Who would want to keep their Facebook profile if they knew that third parties are selling their information. Therefore this article got to me enough to delete my Facebook profile. I wasn't about to keep something that was selling my information and tracking my online track.
