According to socialfish.org, Facebook's privacy policy requires that users automatically view personal information such as usernames, location, gender, and photographs, as well as social media media activities such as “like” pages and friend lists. Also, on Facebook when you message people on their messaging application, people can see your location just by clicking on the sent message. Even if you turn off the location setting on Facebook, the application still allows you to see it, so you need to turn off the location button every time you send a message to someone if you don't want them to see your location is an example of our privacy is invaded. According to USA Today, behavioral researchers show that Facebook is a big privacy issue and our every move is being watched, from how parents interact with their children to what we post or share. “In fact, a University of Vienna study published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking found that nearly half of Facebook users who left the site said it was due to privacy concerns.” The most popular social media that we use daily such as Facebook, Google+, Wikipedia and Yahoo have recently changed their privacy policies. According to Forbes, "Facebook recently announced changes to its default privacy settings on sharing with friends. It was also revealed that it could access smartphone microphones to capture and analyze users' songs, TV shows and other things.".
