Do you think marketing on social networks is a breach of privacy?

[Angelique]

there is the fact that the internet allows people to gather information in quick and efficient ways. One of the biggest ways, though, is one that was likely not predicted by many, and that’s to do with social networking.
The problem that has been arising more and more in recent years with social networking, is the part of all this in which things are shared with strangers. It’s a problem because that sharing isn’t always happening because people are willingly volunteering it.
Or, sometimes it happens as a result of unintended actions that social network users didn’t fully understand.
For example, in the worlds of social networking web sites like Facebook, Myspace and similar networking communities, people are able to share information about themselves with groups of friends. The part of this concept that many people haven’t fully grasped is how much of that information is available to be viewed by the extended network of friends.
That means that when person A shares information with person B, it’s quite often available to be viewed by person C, even though C and A aren’t a part of each others social networks. In the Facebook example, this often unintended breach of privacy happens because of the things people write on their friends’ virtual walls or through the controversial news feed that appears on everyone’s main page.
