Facebook Is Using You

        The week I read an article called "Facebook Is Using You" written by Lori Andrews. The main point of Lori Andrew's article is to tell us that for websites like Facebook, Google, Gmail etc. can take our information and use it against us in the future like for people battling for child custody or defending themselves in criminal cases."In the article is said, "The amount of online information Facebook has available about each of us for targeted marketing is stunning." It also goes on to say that, "Hundreds of other companies have also used people's online data by depositing software called"cookies" or other tracking mechanisms on people's computers and in their browsers.

        After reading this article I worry about what it might do to us in the future because it can affect what will happen. For example in the future we might want to apply for a job and those messages might be used against us. I am also concerned about the personal things i might want to write online because it will affect me badly in the future.
