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?

The main reason many people join facebook is to connect with family and friends and they assume that what they share will be respected and private unless they want everyone to know they business. With the recent scandal, I think any trust facebook had is lost and now people are aware that nothing is private anymore, their data can be manipulated, sold etc and they can be targeted for goods/services whether they wish it or not. To me a lot of my choice feels likes its been eroded. Even though social medial and technology is the way of the future, I think we can no longer trust either and have to be much more circumspect if you want any type of privacy. If privacy is not an issue for you then go right ahead. And that old 'if you've got nothing to hide" routine doesn't wash - it is not about "hiding", it is about "choice." My trust in Facebook is gone.
