have facebook, no privacy.
-
The lack of privacy that comes along with having a social networking website account has finally hit me.
My mum's ex-colleague's (also my mum's good friend) daughter, who is my friend on facebook, saw my ROM Solemnization pictures as well as the wedding photos on facebook.
Nothing wrong with that right?
Of course nothing is wrong, unless if the people decide to spread the word and it got back to me. What do i mean by that?
Above mentioned friend, saw the pictures and alerted her mum, who IMMEDIATELY (seriously, no joke, it was IMMEDIATE.) picked up the phone and called my mum to ask her about it.
auntie: "eh, ur son got married already? how come never invite us? is he going to invite us for the wedding?"
mum: "orh no la, he registered his marriage with his girlfriend so they can apply for a new flat.. as for the wedding photos, they're just models only..."
see? with facebook (or the internet, for that matter), you'll have no privacy. Anything you put online, people will just SPREAD THE WORD.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not having a problem with people talking about things that I post online. I put these stuff like my wedding pictures on facebook and on my blog, so as to share my happiness and my joy with my friends. It just gets irritating when people get so EXCITED and keep talking about it, until it gets around to me knowing it.
If you see something I post, and you find it interesting or JUICY (you know what I mean..), I would really appreciate it if you just kept it to yourself or at the very least, don't go around the world screaming about it and making a big issue out of nothing at all. -
That is why I refuse to have any fb account.

if u no want other ppl to know, lock it, set a pw... limit access to the ppl u dun mind sharing with....

yea sometimes having fb (or anything to do with sharing stuff on the internet) takes away a bit of privacy.. it's something we should expect when we share stuff on the net, but it gets a little out of hand when so many ppl shriek and make it sound like a meteor just crashed into earth.. -

There are already far too many people who love to dig personal info. I hardly come across any singaporeans who respect the privacy of others.

putting stuff on facebook is fine, with the whole purpose of sharing with friends..
my settings are already set to only friends that can view my photos etc..
its just that sometimes ppl tend to make a molehill out of nothing over things that u post.. really no need for that right? heh.
