Security Implications

the internet provides a sense of anonymity the lack of physical interaction provides a

false sense of security you tailor the information for their friends

to read, forgetting that others may see it you want to offer insights to impress

potential friends or associates

An Example from Facebook

Terms of Use: October 23, 2006New Rules on “Ownership”

All content on the Web site, including but not limited to designs, text, graphics, pictures, video, information, software, music, sound and other files, and their selection and arrangement (the "Site Content"), are the proprietary property of the Company, its Users or its licensors with all rights reserved…

* Facebook may use information in your profile

without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as aggregating how many people in a network like a band or movie and personalizing advertisements and promotions so that we can provide you Facebook. We believe this benefits you. You can know more about the world around you

and, where there are advertisements, they're more likely to be interesting to you. For example, if you put a favorite movie in your profile, we might serve you an advertisement highlighting a screening of a similar one in your town. But we don't tell the movie company who you are.

*We may use information about you that

we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services and other users of Facebook, to supplement your profile. Where such information is used, we

generally allow you to specify in your privacy settings that you do not want this to be done or to take other actions that limit the connection of this information to your profile (e.g., removing photo tag links).

* We do not provide contact information to third

party marketers without your permission. We share your information with third parties only in limited circumstances where we believe such sharing is: 1) reasonably necessary to offer the service, 2) legally required or, 3) permitted by you…
