For this week’s blog I found an article on change. Pretty much everyone I know has a Facebook account and goes on it way to much! It’s usually known as “the thing everyone does instead of homework,” but we all love it anyways! On Facebook you you’re your own profile and information. Over the years they have added new qualities to the social networking site that makes it so “addictive.” Recently, Facebook made some changes in the website constraining members to many things such as status updates. They were going to remove them because some people put personal information on them. Thousands of groups were made protesting about the changes. Soon enough the company met with Marc Rotenberg, the center’s executive director and asked if it was possible to return to the old contract without breaking any rules. He said it was fine. On February 6th the changes were made back to normal and publisher of Consumer Reports, warned people to “never upload anything you don’t feel comfortable giving away forever, because it’s Facebook’s now.”
