The Article On Facebook 's Unethical Experiment

However, this new Facebook’s feature can be backfired because Facebook invades users’ privacy. Many users felt like their privacy was completely infiltrated, just about everything users updated or changed was instantly blasted out to hundreds of friends. News Feed has kept all the users’ information “loud”, and allowed people to see pictures and posts, which could give out information that users might not want their friends to know. Users claim that News Feed features leave the door open for people to 'creep'. “Facebook has always tried to push the envelope” (p.545) and “Everyone is freaking out” (p.544). Using people’s first reaction to the Facebook’s “News Feed” feature, Thompson later explains the privacy problem that this new feature may have caused. Thompson tries to inform the readers both side of the benefits and disadvantages using Facebook. The author creates a great connection with the readers by doing so, makes the readers feel that he’s on the same with them, that he understands the whole circumstances.

In the article “ Is Facebook Making You Mean?,” written by Lauren Tarshis, an editor of two Magazines and author of two novels asserted that Facebook has changed a person's behavior towards others. By focusing on the article is when it asserts about the disrespectful comments made towards a middle schooler named Maya.

According to Dr. Douglas Kenrick, University of Arizona’s Social Psychology lecturer, Facebook is not bad but the usage of it is what paints an ugly picture. In the article above, emotional aspects seem to be most affected when one uses Facebook in comparing oneself with their peers, friends or relatives. Posts by the defined group outline the seven ways mentioned which are termed bad since it leads to mental health dysfunctions. The use of Facebook to follow others updates leads to a number of psychological hazards such as; gives one a feeling that their life is not neat as of others, one develops envy towards friends achievements, Facebook keeps touch with people who hurt before, it can disenfranchise marriage in the event of stalking. The emotional friction developed through the wrong use often leads to depression. If one can avoid using Facebook in a manner that they will not follow other people’s posts then they are less likely to get stressed up about others and to a great extent avoid mental complications such as depression. According to the study about 80% percent who use Facebook in following others updates with a lot of

Facebook is starting to “crack down” on fake news articles throughout the social media website. However, Katrina Trinko says, Facebook’s fact-checkers have a liberal bias. Trinko believes that many of the fake articles on Facebook are withholding information that is containing the whole truth. She believes that these “fact-checkers” are more likely to crack down on conservative views instead of the liberal views. (Katrina Trinko Facebook fact-checkers have a liberal bias) Facebook like other social media sites, have been accused of posting fake articles across their website. According to the PEW research center, sixty-seven percent of Americans rely on social media for their news coverage (News use across social media platforms 2016: Jeffrey Gottfried and Elisa Sherer). While social media has been known to show “fake news”, this has a huge impact on the influence of the viewers (mostly being American teenagers). Whenever there has been fake news across Facebook, there are circumstances where the fake news will be shared. Although the person who shares the fake news may not realize that it is fake, the news is being shared causing people to believe that it is true. Facebook is reaching out to the conservative political action conference who are questioning the potential for bias news articles. Facebook was censoring stories about conservative topics back in spring of 2016. Now, CEO Mark Zuckerberg is investigating and Facebook moved its automate to the trending news section. Facebook is working to ensure that the

The first example from “On a Sunny Day, You May Get the Rain-Day Blues from Facebook Friends” is in paragraph one it states “LOS ANGELES—Blame your Facebook account if you feel down on a bright, sunny day, according to new research. Too many of your friends may be posting emotionally negative messages.” This means reading something sad or even seeing a depressing picture can get a person in a mood. In the third paragraph from “On a Sunny Day, You May Get the Rain-Day Blues from Facebook Friends” it says that Facebook is a social network site wield an emotional “spillover” effect. In paragraph four from “On a Sunny Day, You May Get the Rain-Day Blues from Facebook Friends” it says Facebook has analyzed billions of Facebook status updates and there are more positive posts by friends, but negative posts have a more negative post by friends. In the fifth paragraph it says it is a very effectual. If someone post a negative posts, then their friend is going to post two additional posts to

The question every parent is constantly pondering is "what is my child thinking." It is a question that children don't normally give an answer. Parents have to be observant to even be in the ballpark. Many parents have began to use social media to spy on their kids, but as Patrick White has pointed out in his essay, "Facebook: Watching the Watchers" it is backfiring, but it is changing the family dynamics. In "Facebook: Watching the Watchers", Patrick White writes "The site now bridges the chasm once rarely crossed between student life and family life by offering a window into both lives for children and parents (521)."

In the first URL Facebook is being investigated to assess whether an experiment in which it manipulated users ' news feeds to study the effect it had on moods might have broken data protection laws, it has been reported. In the next URL a new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals that Facebook intentionally manipulated the news feeds of almost 700,000 users in order to study “emotional contagion through social networks.” In the last URL a company name Ello’s policy states that the practice of collecting and selling personal data and mapping your social connections for profit “is both creepy and unethical.”

Facebook is a well know social networking site that has taken all over the world with over 500 million people using the site. Social networking sites such as Facebook share information about the user over the Internet, where it can be freely accessed by anyone. This is where issues of privacy to the individual arise. As of July 2010 Facebook has more than 500 million active users, Users may create a personal profile, add other users as friends and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile. As of December last year, Facebook called its 500 million users to review their privacy settings at the launch of its new user control tools which allow the user to control their information easily depending on

There are lots of news that are provided and it is up to the consumer to differentiate what is important and what is not. to determine what to believe and it’s up to them to learn more and expand on their knowledge beyond social media outlets. For this reason, if people were to make major life changes due to the news feed, then Facebook should not be reliable. “Facebook is an important source of website referrals for many news outlets” (Anderson&Andrea, 2014). Facebook is there to provide information to the masses, for friends and family to share information and it is up to the individual to decide what they want to do with the information. If they make major life changes based on the news feed then you cannot fault Facebook. “Facebook users are experiencing a relatively diverse array of news stories on the site — roughly half of Facebook users regularly see six different topic areas” (Anderson&Andrea, 2014). The audience are provided with many different news that ranges from politics, or entertainment and people should think twice before making major life changes and Facebook should not be held

I agree with Tufekci that Facebook is not an inherently neutral site and that its algorithms create echo chambers in which users are only ever hearing news, whether fake or not, that confirms their beliefs. I think that fake news is a serious political issues because out system relies on an informed public, which cannot exist where there are sites out that knowingly publish false information for monetary gain that is accrued through advertising revenue that is made through these articles’ circulation through social media, specifically, Facebook. This would not be such a powerful issue if Facebook was not such a larger platform with billions of viewers, but I think that Facebook, especially because of its size and power, needs to be held accountable

Facebook is involved in a serious controversy in the United States. And last but not least they are being accused of nothing less than ideologically manipulate the news that serves its users , all this is happening on the campaign trail, so the whole thing takes on an even greater dimension that already itself has.

From a macroenviroment standpoint, the general conditions of a market are heavily dependent on global environmental factors.

Many teachers and students have begun to become "friends" on Facebook and other social media, but is this really ethical and safe? Many teachers and students feel that communicating with each other through Facebook is mostly beneficial. It provides a means to exchange questions and information virtually instantly in a format which is both stimulating and enjoyable. However, some parents and school officials are against it. They are concerned that this type of student/teacher communication blurs the line between a professional and a social relationship.
