Facebook is using you is an article that Lori Andrews wrote talking about how Facebook is basically taking advantage of users by using the personal information they write to track you with cookies. She said, "Facebook makes money by selling ad space to companies that want to reach us." She express that Facebook uses as puppets for endorsement. She then goes on to say all the things companies do with are personal information. She she’s that companies sometimes use it to make it so we can’t get that job. The article also says, “Facebook made $3.2 billion in advertising revenue last year, 85 percent of its total revenue. Yet Facebook’s inventory of data and its revenue from advertising are small potatoes compared to some others. Google took in more than 10 times as much, with an estimated $36.5 billion in advertising revenue in 2011, by analyzing what people sent over Gmail and what they searched on the Web, and then using that data to sell ads.” This leaves me to say this has to be true because if not how do they make so much.
I think that this article really does teach me to watch what I write on the Internet. I don’t want the things I write to define me or the job I get in the future. It’s preposterous; no wonder so many people live on the street or are in dept. Companies have their hopes stuck so far up their butts that they make it hard for people to do anything.
