Facebook: Do Not Let Others See Your Face On Facebook

Facebook is clear about how it wants to enhance its revenue. It wants to use the personal data of its users and exchange it for money. It has decided to bombard users with targeted advertisements. The site is planning to add new advertising features. Facebook intends to become much more personal. Search engines do not know too much about their users to fulfil the requirements of marketers. But Facebook has a rich repository of information. It is aware of the personal details and preferences of its users. This is a data goldmine and marketers are willing to pay anything for it. Facebook is ready to quote a lucrative figure too.

How Do You Avoid The Intrusion To Your Privacy?

Facebook is walking on the footsteps of "White Pages" online. Facebook has now opened its membership to the public in contrast to its earlier decision of including only college students. It also allows people whether they are a member or not to search for any specific person. Soon people will also be allowed to track Facebook members with the help of various search engines like MSN, Yahoo, Google and others. If you are not too keen to be bombarded by unnecessary advertisements promoting useless products and services, you need to be aware of how you can hide your profile. There are settings linked to your profile by which you can save yourself from aggressive advertisers.

The above situation is a dangerous assault to your privacy. There is no privacy left. Tetridia has brought to notice the various flaws in privacy issues of Facebook. They have also said that Facebook members reveal their personal details too soon. Most people do not know how to edit their privacy settings in order to save their personal details from public glare. So unwittingly they are making themselves targets of hard core marketers. They are daily bombarded by spam mails without even realising how the advertisers are getting their contact details.

You can save your privacy from intrusion by hiding your profile and making it private. If you fail to do so, any one and every one can have access to your personal details like your contact details, date of birth, your preferences, the events you’ve attended and others.

Facebook is a goldmine for all marketers. They are willing to shower millions of dollars for an access to the information. After all it is a captivating market of millions of users. Once they get access to all the information they can target so many people at one go. It is highly cost effective for them. They are not bothered about your privacy. So it is entirely up to you to save your privacy by hiding your profile from forceful marketers.
