Facebook Privacy: Are you closing your account?


I have been reading that lot of people are closing their Facebook account as some facebook privacy policy change are not adopted by them. Policy changes suggest to share information with facebook partner so that they can change the facebook interface per your choice and preference.

I was little bit shocked to hear this. Why? Well because I heard a joke which says something like this: One man in some future year calls a Pizza shop and ask for Cheese pizza, but operator suggest him not to buy that as his doctor refuse to eat cheese to him. Then he change his order to Mushroom pizza and again operator refuse as his bank balance is short of price of pizza and offer a small tomato pizza which is fit for his for health and pocket.

It was not just a joke, it is THE FUTURE. So how Facebook policy is harmful? If they don’t share that information how it make our life easy? How can a pizza operator know your balance unless our bank share it? The problem arise if they allow transaction without our premission, which of course they are not going to do. But if someone knows my account balance there is no harm they can do.

Only those people want to hide such information which feel that they cannot show off or if they are doing some fraud. Otherwise does it harm Bill Gates that we knows he has $10 billion in his bank account.

I think people make a mess of information technology and send us back 20 years if they still don’t believe that this is coming. You believe it or not, Data sharing will happen not for bad but for good of human kind. After all I don’t want to see advertisement of Soccer game products, but love to see ads on Cricket Game products the game I play. Same applies to all.
