Twitter Supports “Do Not Track”

Twitter Supports “Do Not Track” | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it
Twitter is without a doubt the best way to share and discover what is happening right now.

 

What is “Do Not Track”?

 

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers.

The United States Federal Trade Commission has endorsed DNT as a simple way for users to inform integrated web services which offer content across the Internet (such as buttons, widgets, and other embedded features) that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected across websites when they have not interacted with that service's content on the page.

 

The DNT browser setting is now supported by recent versions of major browsers, including Firefox 5+, Internet Explorer 9+, and Safari 5.1+. If you are using Chrome 17.0 or higher, there is a third-party extension that enables DNT.

How We Give Away Our Privacy (And How to Take It Back)

How We Give Away Our Privacy (And How to Take It Back) | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it

Deciding what information should be public isn’t just important for your reputation and mental health. Keeping your account numbers and identifying information secret can help prevent financial fraud, protecting you and property.

 

In a country like Syria in the midst of turmoil, your privacy can be a matter of life and death.

 

But for most of us, we’re willing to trade a litte of our privacy for a service we like, or a little company.

Privacy concerns after Instagram's acquisition by Facebook

Privacy concerns after Instagram's acquisition by Facebook | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it
Some Instagram users are upset about the acquisition by Facebook - but are they right to complain about what happens to their uploaded photographs?

 

What needs to be recognised is that anytime you decide to store your information online, you should also assume that it could be used for marketing purposes and that it may be publicly available.

 

The acquisition of Instagram is a perfect example of how data shared online may have an uncertain future.

 

As Instagram's policies state, they are "subject to change without notice" ===> and users should be sure they are comfortable with their information being used in any way they can imagine. <===

Selling You on Facebook

Selling You on Facebook | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it
Many popular Facebook apps obtain sensitive information about users—and users' friends—so don't be surprised if details about your religious, political and even sexual preferences start popping up in unexpected places.

 

Still, some app developers say they are seeking less personal data than they could. Rick Marini, chief executive of the professional-networking app "BranchOut," said that more than 20 million people have signed up for the app. What users may not realize is that professional information about all of their friends is also now a part of the app's database.

 

===> That lets "BranchOut" tout that it has more than 400 million profiles. <===
