Today social media has become a major
source for people to connect with their near and dear ones. And Face book is
among the most successful social media in the world. But what about the safety
and security option of this media.
It has always been a big question of
worry for the people when it comes to safety and security of the personal
information on the social media and that’s why Face book has come up with its
new policy which is called as “privacy check-up” which is aiming to help the
users to share and manage the information and posting more safely on the internet.
This new policy is somewhat unique that shows
a blue dinosaur which guides the users to maintain a safety while sharing and
posting the information over the social media. There were a lot of cases of the
security threat and unauthorized access to the personal details of the users in
the past and this is the reason why Face book took this step. Face book has
announced this plan in the month of June to settle the concerns about the privacy
which the site take into consideration after facing criticism over sharing of
personal information for the marketing use.
The dinosaur will pop-up when the user
log in to face book and show them all the privacy settings through personal
apps to the apps that can access the Face book data. There will be an option
which will be available on each and every page of the site that gives an
opportunity to the user to update his privacy settings. This is the outcome of
the criticism by the experts and also some of the lawsuits that try to claims
that Face book lacks the safety when it comes to sharing of personal
information with the marketers. So this is a good step forward by the
management to ensure the safety of the personal details of the face book users.
Also the group has agreed for external inspection with the US government agency
for the reliability of the data security system.
So
all in all it’s a good step taken by the Face book which will ultimately help
the users to be safer with the illegal practices and data theft. This will help
the Face book to win over the market more extensively in the long run. Today social media has become a major
