Privacy no longer a social norm, says Facebook founder | Technology The rise of social networking online means that people no longer have an expectation of privacy, according to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Talking at the Crunchie awards in San Francisco this weekend, the 25-year-old chief executive of the world's most popular social network said that privacy was no longer a "social norm". "People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people," he said. "That social norm is just something that has evolved over time." Zuckerberg said that the rise of social media reflected changing attitudes among ordinary people, adding that this radical change has happened in just a few years. "When I got started in my dorm room at Harvard, the question a lot of people asked was, 'why would I want to put any information on the internet at all? But it also represents a remarkable shift from where the Californian company originally started out. Not everybody agrees.
INCERTITUDES AUTOUR DE LA JURISPRUDENCE «LICENCIEMENTS FACEBOOK» La fin de l’année 2011 a remis au premier plan la question de la validité des licenciements, fondés sur des preuves issues des propos tenus sur des réseaux sociaux, plus particulièrement Facebook. En effet, les Cours d’appel de Besançon et de Douai ont rendu, respectivement les 15 novembre et 16 décembre 2011, des arrêts qui ouvrent la porte à une modification substantielle de la jurisprudence « licenciements Facebook ». La genèse de la jurisprudence « licenciements Facebook » : une jurisprudence défavorable aux salariés La première décision relative à un licenciement prononcé suite à des propos tenus sur Facebook remonte à 2010. De plus, sur le plan pénal, début 2011, le Parquet de Périgueux a décidé de classer sans suite la plainte pour interception illicite de correspondance privée déposée par trois salariées licenciées pour faute lourde suite à des propos injurieux, diffamatoires et menaçants émis sur Facebook. Vers un revirement de jurisprudence ?
Business & Financial News, Breaking US & International News PRIVACY IN THE FACEBOOK ERA: A SOUTH AFRICAN Test : connaissez-vous vraiment les conditions d'utilisation de Facebook ? Facebook va bientôt procéder à une mise à jour de ses CGU. Il s’agit des conditions d’utilisation et de la politique de confidentialité appliquée sur le réseau social.

Disruptions: Privacy Fades in Facebook Era David Paul Morris/Bloomberg NewsPrivacy is a rare commodity today with the high amount of information being posted on social networking sites such as Facebook. As much as it pains me to say this: privacy is on its deathbed. I came to this sad realization recently when a stranger began leaving comments on photos I had uploaded to Instagram, the iPhone photo-sharing app. After several comments — all of which were nice — I began wondering who this person was. Now the catch here is that she had used only a first name on her Instagram profile. You would think a first name online is enough to conceal your identity. Trust me, it’s not. So I set out, innocently and curiously, to figure who she was. I knew this person lived in San Francisco, from her own photos. There it was: a full name. Creepy, right? Nearly everyone has done something like this. A friend who works in technology recently told me I would never be able to figure out her age online. Ms. Now which one of us is going to do that?
Politique d’utilisation des données Social media life: What privacy? It was almost quaint: Google’s recent apology for privacy violations. Granted, it came in the face of a lawsuit where the company got its hand slapped for “data-scooping,” a wonderful phrase that could be the slogan of our current lives. Google was found to have crossed the line with its Street View Project, where in addition to photographing houses and buildings along the world’s streets and avenues, the Googilians scooped up all manner of personal information from zillions of unencrypted wireless networks. Really? I look at a bathing suit on line. Every day I am online giving away — not just bits of information but bytes of my soul, or at least that’s the way it feels. We have signed on for this ride. I see in myself what I see in others, a turn towards the spotlight — or the cyberlight, if you will. There is our now reflexive-compulsive need to run to the laptop or message or tweet. In our frantic efforts to recycle our deepest feelings, they become, in the process, less deep.

Now, her website, a virtual research environment, has become the hub of her research and she utilises forums, blogs and twitter to interact with more actors and increase her impact through different audiences. I was the first person in my department to actively engage with social media and digital research methods to conduct my PhD research. I was unable to undertake fieldwork in the traditional sense; spending a period overseas conducting interviews and collecting data, as part of my Geography PhD at KCL. During my background research I had already seen that a number of international organisations were employing web based forums and message boards as mechanisms for encouraging international debate. Post-PhD I have been engaging with a number of online resources. Dr.
