Facebook is Using You
We recently read an article in class called "Facebook is Using You". Law professor Lori Andrews, gathered information saying how people should be careful what they write online. She says that because of the things that you lookup on google or what you type in an email will be used against you some how. She says that most likely if you look up "Loans" on google you may be excluded from certain credit card companies. She also said that what you write in a email to some one may be used against you. The minute you write about how someone as diebetes or some one is sick pop up may start to appear on your computer screen daily. Like an ad for cures for diebetes, will pop up on the side of your computer screen. Facebook also "uses" us to get paid, the things you write in you bio on Facebook like if you write that you like guitars, there will most likely be ads of buying guitars on your computer screen. Its basiclly they use us every time an ad comes up. They get paid when the ads come up on facebook, email or even google.
