The web means the end of forgetting

This article was very interesting; it shows you a lot about how today nothing you say and do on the Internet ever goes away. Even if we try, nothing can ever erase anything we do on the computer and what makes it worse is companies including U.S. Recruiters and HR offices use the Internet to judge your character. It has been shown that 70% of U.S. Recruiters have actually rejected candidates because of something they have posted online. Places like Facebook have even made it harder to be private. They launched new privacy settings on their website that would show everyone certain things about your page no matter if you were friends with them. I thought it was very interesting that in response to this a few college students wanted to create a new social networking site that would allow you to have more privacy. They even raised $20,000 from people who like their idea and wanted to back them up. I can say I agree and disagree with this argument and article. Maybe people should have more privacy with certain things and to a certain extent. Like always when there is a freedom given to anyone someone will most likely take advantage of it and ruin it for everyone else. So of course we know that if this is changed with the Internet that someone might go overboard and use it inappropriately. But on the flip side there are many people out there who would love to have more privacy for their own personal reasons whether it be good or bad. I think that we have a lot of privacy on the Internet as it is and if you’re doing bad things on the Internet that’s on you. You should not get upset if job corporations are looking you up because you seem like a good candidate and they see that on your free time you do inappropriate things or if you get in trouble with anybody for that matter for things you personally post online.
