Privacy-the new the new browser war


It seems a good start for 2010 were not members of the browser market. Google threatens to leave the Chinese market, and Microsoft faced with poor publicity discharge with IE browser on the market as a whole now shows errors very unbalanced and the end result may mean the end of some browsers.

After a very organized, developed to combat cyber attacks many Western companies that were based on China, Google reported that older versions of IE flaws was facilitated by these companies, including Google intellectual property theft.Bad publicity and Microsoft PR after a major disaster, after the French, German, European countries should publicly advised users to use Internet Explorer anymore. what to do when the Government advises against its own people?

This was quite a blow to Microsoft, and they are still trying to recover.On the other hand, Google has refused to continue to censor its search results in China, claimed that it soon pull out a total of the people's Republic of China, Google.CN and all Google products such as Android phones. how much is the loss of Google? Some say much because the Android platform is widely accepted in the people's Republic of China, and it would have been homebrewed anyway.

In the meantime, Firefox is busy starting 3.6 form, was 32% market share of Web browsers and from Chrome to collect only a couple of months around 4%. Chromium is to a large number of positive reviews, the acclaimed browser its speed and efficiency. Even if IE still lead to a market share of 58%, Microsoft is struggling to convince users to update to the latest versions, IE8, argued that this is more secure, and that no other IE, with the exception of vehicles which can be much more threatened by browsing the Web with users.

At the top of the privacy of users on a network can be a thing of the past.Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg in so far as it is posted online content and the ability to view is not private.Means that if users are carefully review the privacy settings in close to a circle or better, if they do not keep a record of all, what they want to keep private, all other Users of the site., share photos in this case, wait for the other itself ignores or worse, does not use them, or to publish them elsewhere they are denied boarding against their will.

Privacy, should be taken in both directions may be expected that something is no guarantee that only Web browsers security or antiviruses, but it is also be something to ensure themselves users. If we are to survive the browsers war we have us information and virtual identities, security by relying on information supplied by the browsers except also bear in mind that all we recognise the social networks are no longer solely the property of us.

Online Privacy-Fear and Solution


All the perks and benefits that come from the Internet-easy network is capable of real-time information about all of the world, the social media phenomenon, we can all day without leaving our offices-all these were just a convenient and comfortable way of access to the online aspects of the world is still the one dark cloud, which affects ever to hanging over the heads of the Web users. Online privacy or add the lack of continuous, in particular, would seem to be popping evening news at the Office, and on top of the world's millions of blogs. So is something we must all concerns about or is it is probably one of the major cause for concern?

We care?

Many people believe that the younger generation or digital press and hold the blas attitude online privacy, is not really disturbing anyone will be able to access their home town, phone numbers and population general information.Yet, interestingly, recent found it as a matter of fact, the 18-35-year-olds, which are likely to have tread online privacy in the waters of the parents-to-peer carefully.It seems that the younger demographic can have multiple posting private information about the easygoing their social network pages, although they are also more likely to dictate, in particular, just the people who can access the private data place privacy settings IN THE PEW study, for example, by using the. only 6% of the teenagers allow, as well as their first and last name of the social networks of the public to see. perhaps this is because many people use only social networks to be considered as a contact already exists in the friends and security settings will be adjusted in such a way that does not apply to other lists of their "friend" from outside of the data.

Facebook fear factor

Unfortunately for Facebook, in recent times it has been making headlines on the wrong basis. Viruses are making Facebook pages, causing the "hilarious" video as links that look like your friends to infect your computer and steal the user's login information to your personal information should be on the wall from rounds.Facebook recently introduced new privacy settings users to carry out its review of the better online privacy, just get backlash complaints that the new settings are too complex, and users with concerns over how exactly their personal information was in use.Even a ' Quit Facebook Day "was founded by mid 2010 attempts to boycott the site social networking online privacy from the date on which it is due, but which was met with lukewarm response from users of the site, Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg's founder, released May 2010, a statement to the effect that the new and improved security settings are in transit. ' Privacy controls, which are much easier to use" and "easily all turn off third-party services" Facebook trying to pacify the disgruntled users privacy infringement and to put an end to the rumours. Strong concern, which is still at that, although the privacy settings, it is easier to use, is set to default-in other words, until actively seek privacy settings and change them yourself, profile information and photos, to be available to the public. This means that if we want to be private, we need more information about how to do it.

Holding us back to the

Social network sites is also covered by a terrible fire late lapsikaappausten and other crimes which have caused the number of online users who are members of the disguises.Chat rooms have long been a concern for parents, anyone from anywhere in the world of sales direct communication with users on under-age drinkers, on the Internet.Other major privacy concerns is based on the often buying.E-commerce continues to boom, unfortunately so do too identity theft and fraud, cross-checking the outcome of the theft.In fact, many people believe that status back to e-commerce industry, one thing is consumer Privacy on the Internet.

Education is the key

Is it so this means that we should social networking site shut down, and refuse to buy online often respond to the authorities? Interesting concerns through the world of the dangers of the online users can hide all of the data and personal information simply or simply use specific sites but perhaps it is realistic and it makes sense to give advice to train themselves, they often websites privacy settings for Internet users and use, and is personally responsible for its actions and so they participate in the sharing on a network. Mark Zuckerberg considers that "people want to stay connected and sharing Users do this". without privacy fears, if they take it shall be accompanied by and use the Internet responsibly. Online world has opened the communication and sharing of global opportunities, and by way of derogation from the spectacular even though most of the cases in which this accompanied by the threats, we can use social network sites and e-commerce without fear, if we are responsible for clued up, and Internet-savvy.

Facebook and privacy


Talk a lot has been created recently in the context of the privacy and Facebook. Many reports indicate that the latest updates to the privacy of the do not allow as much as possible, and "like" buttons on the network flooding and infiltration that Facebook is going to somehow change the browsing experience. On Facebook is stripping operations off its general concerns and forcing them to share, they may not want to. But if you can take a look at the privacy settings, it is clear that Facebook users, however, in fact, have control over the majority of privacy settings.

Public reaction began to direct towards in the negative, when Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, expressed in his believes that public knowledge sharing is a new social norm in January of this year. This was the default user profile picture, sex, current city, networks, friends list, and the page orders in support of public information about the decided.These changes meant that the people who did not want this information to the public was manually privacy options labyrinth browse and change separately. Backlash was quite strong, but later changes added fuel to the fire.

Facebook is the F8 Conference last week, Zuckerberg make another wave of "like" buttons, public information and the dissemination of partnerships in the external sites.He discussed the change is a "fan" something "recalled" something as it is designed to facilitate the elect, attractive and, in addition to the universal tactic. "-" buttons now show the sites online, providing users the ability to publish content to their Facebook News feed without leaving the page ever they browse. By default, this "do not much like" content appears all but in the event of a change in your privacy settings.

More ominous changes loom Facebook's list of new policies in the field of education, employment and benefits in the form. If you are not logged into Facebook recently, likely to be seen as a pop-up asking if you want to your profile pages list proposed. Facebook has disabled, users can manually type the interests or type of employment or school information without also "recalled" the corresponding page.This can be avoided by checking the discreetly placed in the "choose the pages separately" from the bottom left of the button, but again the lack of clarity has caused many users to join without being aware of the pages and groups. If you do not want to make do not much like pages, go to "Account" tab, select the "privacy settings," then "friends, tags, and relationships" and check the corresponding regulations.

All changes to the Facebook is an important question is not so much things that change as the methods by which Facebook shall state the reasons on which they and their implementation. Twitter has been a consistent information privacy standards, even though Facebook's has been amended on several occasions, is this inconsistency, which shows the duplicitous, because the changes are often unexpectedly or warning or very little.

Facebook for the average user will still find it difficult to manage privacy.Advanced and power users, such changes can be actually gift transport and exposure, but only because they are understood and properly adjusted.Users drive clicks, comments, and is the company's current revenue stream, the vertebral column, so it is no surprise that Zuckerberg does not believe privacy targeted ads across the Web.Privacy is something that Facebook is concerned, because it is, not that it wants to, so it follows, why they are not in accordance with the privacy of the members.The underlying reality, they are always the same in order to maintain controls on their privacy policy to users.

The best thing to do is hip changes and keep awareness of how they might affect your personal information. using all means at their disposal, if you have made your own and doubts still and then take on the role of mantra "does not click, comment, post, distribute, etc unless you are nice to see it with the whole world."Even if the public can have a new social norm, it does not determine or otherwise affect the individual social preference. Facebook has only environment it is each user understands and decide how they want to use it yourself.

Facebook Privacy changes Coming near you


Are you ready for yet another change in Facebook? Facebook has more than 350 million active users worldwide, no such as social networking, it was a mere six years ago. The open letter to Facebook users on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's billionaire founder-stated "regional networks" are no longer the best way to manage privacy and personal information.

Now been is the easier way for individuals to manage their privacy and method in which the information is shared via the Internet. Do you share your personal information with "friends", "friends" or "all" these changes are occurring on Facebook, which requires you to update your personal settings in the coming weeks.Facebook to make recommendations to the way social network has a huge impact on the environment. currently, in most individuals do not share their content using the "all" setting that Facebook during the summer.

Zuckerberg "nearly 50% of the total amount of the Facebook users are members of the regional networks, this is very important to us. If we Build better, then more than 100 million people have even more control they. "

"Regional networks" on the set of persons, in particular, the city will be able to join, region or country network-is in the process of progressively. Facebook has stated that the social network environment, users were generally aware of the "regional network" accession may allow other users on the same network, users can view the profile of the person of millions. A reversal strategy that made Facebook so popular, Zuckerberg mentioned that the "regional networks" was originally designed for students and businesses but that recent studies found that Facebook had grown so rapidly worldwide, that some networks was literally millions of members. They must be designed in such a plan is said to be more user-friendly and offers a simpler model for the control of data protection.

Facebook is changing the privacy model and created the privacy control content is available only to your friends, friends, friends, or for all can be defined as a simpler model. Social network giant has something to lose through the promotion of "all" updates. Shall be adopted in accordance with the Facebook for a long time and the nature of the new private sector privacy settings can result in accidentally share more chaos of the individual personal information with as originally intended. This is something not just to think, but draws attention to the strong, the new privacy regulations.If the person who believes in the privacy of your personal information and do not want to "all" global Facebook profile and the content is viewed, best privacy setting is "friends" Privacy Control Panel.

For those who are not noticed Facebook has begun to backpedal as it will be launched in March by the treatment of back to the home page of the old-style News feed on Twitter-like the reconfiguration.Facebook may have decided to favor privacy concerns over the real-time. Facebook privacy changes originally announced in July, when it sounded like a social network platform can go to Twitter as the existence of a direction.It seems that the change of heart was the reason for the delay review privacy concerns.

The next several weeks by using Facebook is revised privacy of individuals with regard to the control panel when they review and update their privacy settings.Also will be given to the possibility of individuals to control who can see each piece of information into they create or download content, such as pictures or videos, as well as groups and events.At this point, they can change your privacy settings in the per-item basis.

"We've worked hard to build controls that we believe that it is better to you, but also we realize that all needs are different," Zuckerberg wrote. "We suggest is based on the customer's current level of privacy settings, but all of the options to read and edit them yourself is the best way to find the correct settings.I encourage you to do this, and see who you are sharing with online. "

Facebook is now more than 350 million users in the United States around the world. 105 million people visit the monthly social network of individuals with regard to spend, on average, from the beginning. approximately 45 minutes Facebook daily. September 2009 Facebook may membership, which is 52% of women and men with the fastest growing demographic age 35 and stored by the old and new users of 48%. Zuckerberg, this letter by saying was "a great year 2009 with a view to the adoption of the world more open and connected."

Facebook is the impending changes follow the long-standing criticism of the protection of the child is a good idea and the privacy rights of officials throughout the world. child abuse and Online Protection Centre (CEOP) has previously found that Facebook give bebo 's, for example, by including a website that would allow those individuals who are bullied or targeted online easily report the abuse and to apply for a refund for each page of the button. Facebook responded that they believe this tactic was "the most effective solution to online harassment" solving the problem, and was Now focus on other opportunities. it appears that the new privacy settings on Facebook-the store is a widespread change in the calls for proposals.
