Personal Privacy are being infringed as the social network developing

         The article written by Jacqui Cheng, who is staff in the Ars Technica, told people about the truth of Facebook. The story is that deleted Facebook photos are still online over 3 years later. This article had warned me that Facebook was sort of impinging our rights whether by accident or on purpose. From my opinion, this article make me think that personal privacy are being interfered while social network is developing.

         First of all, the author implied that we could still see the deleted photos of facebook users over 3 years later. That means the “delete” button does not work at all. People wanted to keep their secret so they delete the photos. They didn't want retaliation from an employer, wanted to avoid family drama, or uploaded a photo of a friend without their permission. But now if someone know the direct link to it, they could still see the photos and even use the images. If we see the questions in the other hand, facebook could save your profile in their system for many years, if a company wants to know the facebook users' information, they could buy it from facebook without the users' permissions. Our private information is being spread secretly, and no one would take the responsibility for it. How could we trust the social network agencies.

        What's more, Author also told the audience, in 2010 the company had already promised that they would solve the problem and no one would infringe our rights. But it's 2012 now, and things aren't much different yet. ARS Technica check the situation again and they are very sure that the problem remains still. The spokesperson said Facebook use a different system for the image storage so that produce the problem. He claimed that the new system would completely avoid the situation happened again. But social network is a business network. They need to feed themselves by selling their information. Yet they might solve this problem finally, but no one could make a pledge that our rights could be protected well in these social network agencies.

         In conclusion, the deleted photos remains on Facebook just the tip of iceberg. There are thousands of things happened every day could tell people how badly the social network did to our personal privacy. We just are losing our own private space when the social communication network developing.
