On Facebook, Biggest Threat to Your Private Data May Be You

I read the article "On Facebook, Biggest Threat to Your Private Data May Be You" by Jacquielynn Floyd.  This article argues that in our generation, there is no boundaries for anything you put on the Internet.  Floyd states you have to be your own defense in maintaining your privacy.  Floyd also explains how there are two kinds of people that use social media web sites.  The first is the generic.  They don't put much information out there and as Floyd explains "a one-size fits all personality template."  The second kind will tell you everything.  These are the kinds of people with absolutely no boundaries and will post what they are wearing, how they feel every second, ect. 

It's really sad to say, but its true when people say Facebook owns you.  You really can't go anywhere without someone mentioning something about Facebook, Twitter, or other social media web sites.  Now when you meet someone new, instead of asking to hang out the first immediate question is "Do you have a Facebook?
". I definitely agree with Floyd's argument completely that you are your own front line of defense in maintaining your privacy.  It's really not necessary to tell the whole world what your doing every second of the day, so why would you rely on a stranger to protect you when you set yourself up for disaster.
