Following the recent Facebook privacy scandal, have you changed your behaviour on Facebook? Are you conscious about how much you share and are you worried about your privacy?

Any service that is provided for free online is prone to breaches of privacy so it's common sense to be wary of what you share. I have not changed my behaviour because I did not engage in irresponsible behaviour to begin with. People need to remember that if something looks too good to be true then it probably is. Each time Facebook update their site, there is a hidden privacy setting somewhere in there that you will need to address. When people sign up for sites, read the fine print and make sure you understand it. There are so many that just agree to the terms without reading what they are agreeing to and then they cry foul later.
Basically, if you don't want something to be public knowledge, don't put it on the internet and that goes for all social media, not just Facebook.
