What is your opinion? Is this sharing of personal information going too far? Or, is it okay for companies to do without our consent?
I guess the company thinks that it is ok because of all those social networks. It seems to be the norm today to tell the world everything, regardless of how personal it is. So I guess that the company thought that it’s ok for them to do the same, since people don’t seem to care. Don’t get me wrong I am not condoning what they’re done; personally I think that it’s going too far and I believe that people deserve the right to privacy. If there is a possibility that a customer’s information will be shared then the customer has the right to know and the authority to decide whether or not they are in agreement.
So many employers are checking potential employees’ Facebook as a way to gain insight as to who the person really is. I think that we all have heard stories about people who lost their jobs because of what they said on Facebook. I remember listening to the news (maybe it was Stupid news on KNE FM) and the host was talking about this woman that was robbed because of her status on Facebook. She posted that she was going to a concert, where and what time and one of her ‘friends’ decided to make use of that information. The burglar was eventually caught.
Do think the use of social networks and the amount of personal information has affects people’s privacy
