Today I was going through potential articles for my paper and came across one entitled “Facebook acknowledges temporary glitch”. Ahh I read through it and on Tuesday (I believe July 31st), there was a glitch in the Facebook system that aloud free flowing private information onto the network; some messages were even sent to the wrong people.
After reading that I thought about how much information I actually have on my Facebook profile and messages that were sent. Luckily, I did not send any messages that day pertaining private information, however, I am sure there are people who did that could have caused a lot of grief for one temporary glitch. I think from now on if there is something important or private that I have to tell someone I am not going to do it through the Internet, because if it gets into the wrong hands there could possibly be embarrassment.
I think this article also made me realize how much I actually depend on the Internet to be working correctly and keeping my private information private.
Lastly, as a side note,there are some creeps out there. I think Facebook should have a nice way to tell someone that they have been rejected, so that you don’t have to keep clicking reject when they keep trying to add you.
