On Facebook, Biggest Threat to Your Private Data May Be You

The article "On Facebook, Biggest Threat to Your Private Data May Be You" by Jacquielynn Floyd on page 285 of Argument. This article talks about Facebook and how people are constantly posting personal ideas and thoughts throughout the day. They even state what they are doing and where they are going at what time every day. Floyd says that the only one to blame for putting your private information on the Internet. Facebook changed their policy and people feel like that are in danger of their information spreading around but Facebook was just updating their policy to protect themselves. They do not want to be at fault for things people choose to post on the Internet. "How can we expect somebody we don't even know to safeguard our privacy if we think so little of it ourselves?" Floyd states in her article.


I think Floyd does a great job with this article. She starts off talking about what people post on Facebook and what the privacy terms are. Then she talks about the different type of Facebook people, some post a little and some post a lot. Her transitions from each paragraph flow perfectly. Her grammar and punctuation are done properly and there were no confusing wording. I enjoyed reading this article. I agree completely with her and am glad I am not the only one that feels this way. No one should be responsible for what is posted on the Internet besides yourself. I really like how she adds her own thoughts throughout the article. I do think that she should have put facts into it to make it more credible.  I like reading article where there are things proven by other sources, I think it really adds to it.
