long ago that social networks are integral to the lives of many users, something more remarkable when you consider that Facebook was born in 2004 , and today has over 600 million users registered, of which 13 million are from Argentina, the agency iCrossing.
All these people dump much of their lives on their servers. To get an idea of \u200b\u200bhow, in the New Year, users of the network rose billion photos on Facebook. In a single day. And that the monthly average is not exactly meager: 4000 million new photos are saved each month on Facebook.
reference, the online photo album Flickr stores, in total, more than 5000 million photos. Facebook
But we do not just photos, also showed interests, preferences, political views, who are our friends, what we did in recent days, where and with whom, and more.
As explained in a note on how to protect children while online ( www.lanacion.com.ar/1328073 ), the most important thing to understand about our relationship with the Internet is that once something is found is almost impossible to monitor their whereabouts.
In fact, if a bill promoted by the European Union last March is approved, residents will have the so-called right to be left in line, forcing Facebook and other sites to completely erase the information from a user if it requires. The United States is studying these days implement similar legislation to protect digital privacy of Americans.
and Google last week agreed with the Federal Trade Commission United States undergo an analysis of its privacy policies and practices every two years for the next two, to show that continues its data protection policy to avoid sharing the information with third parties if a user does not want.
Meanwhile, the Library of Congress of the United States began to record all public tweets, as a way to preserve them for posterity.
We must remember that these services (and content) will probably be in line for many years, keeping equally brainy articles, reviews and photos banal double meanings that can only be understood on the basis of a temporal context that may not be as easy to recover in the future. That is precisely why we should care what we found visible to everyone and that we reserve for our privacy. Facebook
For Facebook (www.facebook.com ), one of the key tools to control the privacy of our profile is to control who can see what we publish and what others publish about us: if our friends, or friends of our friends, or anyone, or some friends (using lists). If we open our profile will be available to all seekers, and therefore everything we do will be indexed. To avoid this we must go to Account> Privacy Settings.
In the first item (Facebook Connect), by clicking on View settings will be possible to define if it is in the form of this network, it will be possible to add us as friends or send messages, view our tastes and activities, and who can do .
The second item (Share on Facebook) can choose who has access to our state, our publications, see the photos that have been tagged, family or places we visited. This latter is based on the announced service in 2010 called Places, and to share with our contacts to walk into a shop, a bar, a public building, etc..
Choosing the Custom option will access the configuration details of what others can see our profile or not, separate things one shares with the rest of the community (publications, biography, interests, religious beliefs, birthdays and others, and now amount to allow others to publish that one is in a particular place), things that others share with friends and that concern us, and labeling of our profile pictures of others, discuss our publications-which, if not configured properly, will appear in the timeline of his friends updates contact information and we want to be visible.
In all cases, you can choose how to display all options, our friends, friends of our friends, choosing the Custom option, certain handpicked users, excluding friends or grouped into lists of friends. Account> Edit friends can create lists of family, work friends, acquaintances, etc., to discriminate who can see why.
is also possible to define what photo albums are fully public or what can only be seen by certain contacts.
Accounts> Account Settings can also determine which applications and Web services (internal or external Facebook) are linked to our profile. If we are not using one, or think you may be having an inappropriate behavior, we can go to Edit your settings to delete these applications, or terminate the license to certain sites to use our Facebook as identification credentials and off, if necessary, what the company calls Instant Customization: amending certain related online services Web version that show the activity across of our friends.
Accounts> Account Settings> Disable the account also can let our users offline, but we must bear in mind that all activities in which we interact with others (chats, conversations wall-to-wall , comments on photos) will be online, does not delete the account, but leaves a sort of limbo, with our profile inaccessible, but all information stored on Facebook servers.
to completely erase must go to https: / / www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account and confirm you want to delete the account, the process is explained in www.facebook.com/ help /? page = 842 # / help /? faq = 13016 .
En el caso de Twitter ( www.twitter.com ), los controles son más sencillos. Por definición, un perfil de Twitter puede ser público (y por lo tanto accesible para cualquiera) o privado, en el que los tweets sólo serán vistos por los seguidores que apruebe el usuario. Twitter denomina esta configuración como de tweets protegidos.
En el sitio Web, en la opción Perfil se accederá a la configuración de nuestro usuario; en la solapa Cuenta es posible definir si los tweets serán protegidos, si se agregará información de ubicación geográfica a cada uno de ellos y si se usará una conexión segura (HTTPS). It is recommended to enable this option.
The Connections tab lists the sites and applications using the system credentials to log Twitter, like Facebook. Here it is also possible to prevent reverse connection of these tools automatically access our profile.
Sonic The network ( www.sonico.com ), meanwhile, has a particular approach to the issue of privacy: it allows for a single user, public profile, one private and one work, defining what will look at each one and who will have access to photos and publications that the user went online. In addition, the Privacy tab My mind is possible to configure some elements of the bill (similar to the wall of Facebook).
Flickr, Picasa and Live.com
Meanwhile, online albums Flickr (www.flickr.com ) and Picasa (picasaweb.google.com ) is also possible to choose which photos or videos can be seen by any navigator (which includes everything from what we had camera for capturing an image up in what geographic location was taken) and which require a direct link or entering your username and password of the respective services. Something similar
requires Microsoft to access the content for a user to share in Skydrive ( skydrive.live.com ) and profile on Live.com. In all cases it is possible to define the degree of visibility that will have you and protect your privacy online. Ricardo
