Don’t worry, we have privacy settings

These days everyone has facebook.

Everyday you ‘like’ new pages,you add new friends,and you post status updates.

All of that information is stored, and connected

to your specific profile.

But do you know how your

is being used?

Facebook collects user data,

And sells it to advertisers

It’s stripped of a few identifying factors, but can still include your username, your photo..

So you can see ads on your

profile that are

specific to you

And these advertisers are allowed to collect data on you, such as your email address and if you’ve visited their website before..

So all of a sudden all of that personal information is now in one place

And out of your control

“Facebook’s facial recognitionapp is now as accurate as thehuman brain”

The facial recognition software is called DeepFace.

“it’s hard to imagine that Zuckerberg andco will keep DeepFace purely confined toFacebook.com — there’s too much moneyto be earnt by scanning the rest of thepublic web for matches”

This means you can be

‘recognized’ in a photo,

somewhere else

on

the

internet,

And have it link And have it link And have it link And have it link

back to your back to your back to your back to your

Facebook Facebook Facebook Facebook

account.account.account.account.

So what can you do you keep your

?

• Always be careful about what you post on the internet
