As a citizen of the nation of Facebook (or "Facebookistan"), what are your rights and responsibilities? How does this podcast--and a larger discussion of social media, which includes using blogs--fit within this class?
I honestly hate that this is an hour long podcast. This shouldn't be a podcast. It should be more of a video. I have seen documentaries of this topic that are more effective at giving this same information in detail.
Facebook can give you all the information you ask for it? I didn't know that! That would be cool if it was in USA. Mine would be thousands of pages long because I'm an avid Facebook user.
Facebookistan? Seriously? You don't have to have a Facebook. So why are they whining? It is my right to choose to have one. I have many friends that use fake names on Facebook. Facebook has violated rights making people very upset. I realized this and made sure to hide certain things from people. I am very careful about that. I add many people on Limited Profile list. It is my responsibility to choose what I display on Facebook and what sort of applications and games have access to my information. I do not allow applications to post on my behalf without my permission. I do not allow applications to have access to my pictures and basic information.
This podcast relates to our class in the sense that Facebook is taking our information "without our permission". Like I mentioned in class, the information I post for my friends to see, I don't care if other people see or use. I posted it carelessly. It didn't matter to me to share it with people. It does make it easier for plagiarism. It makes it easier to steal information from many people and it makes filter bubbles more predominant too because it knows location and facial recognition.

I also had issues getting the dern crazy long “podcast” to load! I’m curious to see what the stack would look like if they sent me everything that I had posted, liked, clicked, and shared (I am also an avid Facebook user). Even with privacy settings though, anyone can gain access to our information. I suppose the best way to go about posting information would be to assume that nothing will be kept private and be aware that someone, somewhere may steal/use our postings without permission.
