Facebook is now selling pieces of stock. The only thing that Facebook has to provide for the stocks are its users information. This well known website gets its money from different ads that appear from information on someone’s profile. Facebook makes $3.2 billion off of advertising and Google making 10 times that from emailing and searching. Many things from the Internet has prevented people to get custody and also has a big impact on situations dealing with the law. There are also companies that are used only to look up information about what people do online. Using other people’s information from online can give off stereotypes.
This article is interesting. I knew that jobs sometimes look at what you write on social networks, but i never knew that those social networks make money off of you. I am slightly concerned about what i post on twitter. I realize that the stuff i post can be held against me. That is why i am cautious about what i post. I have slipped a couple of times, but i wouldn't mind if a future employer seen stuff i tweeted.
