Social Networking Privacy & Ownership
• Please research how networks safeguard your privacy before joining.

• Regarding content ownership on Facebook.com:
“We still have work to do to communicate more clearly about these issues, and our terms are one example of this. Our philosophy that people own their information and control who h h h h d l f h l
page 19 Kristen Freilich
they share it with has remained constant. A lot of the language in our terms is overly formal and protective of the rights we need to provide this service to you. Over time we will continue to clarify our positions and make the terms simpler.”
– Median ‐ 12th grade reading level (Milne, et al., 2006)
• Before joining a website or signing up to use a social media tool, review the privacy policy of the website, as well as any other legal information about content ownership.
