Privacy, facebook, information sharing and protection of their image

CLICK ON IMAGES FOR BETTER FOLLOW THE GUIDE, YOU CAN ENLARGE AND SEE STEPS IN RETAIL

ATTENTION FACEBOOK CAN 'CHANGE ITS METHOD OF OPERATION DAILY, IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS CONTACT

Facebook is now writing about everything from their personal comments to his friends (perhaps childhood friends with whom there is formalized) or political comments and / or religious. All this can be normal in a "family" but often better left to personal and detached so that at least professionally. With older technologies, the problem arose mainly in the way we approach and we dressed, the employer often watched the cutting of beard in men or women in an elegant presence. Today is different and must also pay attention to what you do at home, not just how to behave in working as social networks (Facebook in particular) are the most easy to use to make a small "investigation" staff.

The solutions are two: it is the old way, you no longer use the Internet as a medium of entertainment and staff are working hard! Or customize your profile on social networks by making a series of "limits" to what others may see, especially those who are not considered "FRIENDS".

Considering FACEBOOK steps are very simple but care must be taken to all the different voices.

1) log on the website

2) Account -> PRIVACY SETTINGS

At this point we can choose different default settings:

ALL, FRIENDS OF FRIENDS, Friends, RECOMMENDED, PERSONALIZED

The first three are standard models where we allow (as its name says) to show all our data fulfilled at all or only to people who know us directly and their friends (FRIENDS OF FRIENDS OF FRIENDS = 2nd degree ) or friends only. The fourth selection is RECOMMENDED, is a standard customization where FACEBOOK suggests making public things less personal and private personal information such as phone number. Then, finally, there is a personalized selection, which is that I recommend to everyone to use.

3) Click CUSTOMIZE SETTINGS: you open a new page where we have divided the information to "subject" or category. In practice asks us who want to show our links to those who want to show our phone number, who want to show our sex and our sexual preference ... asks us all! Unfortunately, once the system catalog information is not always possible 'DELETE, so the easiest and fastest way is this.

4) Identified the area you want to hide and / or not to publish the assumption that our phone number, take the box (combo box) that is located alongside the words "Mobile" and click Customize again (in because here we also proposes the selection of standard packages: friends, friends of friends, everyone and customize)

5) Last step: At this point we got to be able to "hide" the confidential information or perhaps to allow only certain people or exclude others ... but then gets really paranoid! To hide all information as our phone, in this screen, is visible under A: I select ONLY.

6) Click Save Settings, otherwise all the clicks do not need it!

If you want to customize other parameters / categories just start again from step 4 and select another category, like maybe I can suggest to put "post published by me" Visible only to friends and "Chance to see the posts on my wall of friends" But I put that on visibility, so that publish us on our board is visible to our friends, instead of what they publish on our board is only visible to us as owners of the shouts. This way, follow up and post stupid chain advertising.

Privacy and the Internet, how to avoid receiving targeted advertising

Here a list of websites dealing with online advertising and that "work" draw visits from Internet users.

http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp

Select all websites (heading Opt-Out) and clicking on SUBMIT you require the blocking of its tracking. In this way the advertising companies will not have access to our preferences (such as favorite movie, the latest online shopping, our city of origin) and consequently there can automatically propose the purchase of similar material (the movie sequel, a purchase similar to the above, an appointment at our city).

Facebook, social networks and privacy. Do not worry too much.

A friend writes:

DID YOU KNOW YOUR TYPE NAME AND LAST NAME ON THE INTERNET ... OPS
you see all your comments made on other sites too ... long ago ...?
to you know? ... : (

And I say:

Yes, I know, and in theory anyone should know, because if you write something because ... Show All is the belief, not good at writing "case" or speak badly abused. Incidentally I do not see any concern these days for "privacy" of users. If one writes or publishes something on a showcase, why should worry about who reads it? If one thing is for private and direct only a few, should be sent via email, not published ... but often people use the technology improperly.

Privacy, facebook, media and common sense.

Facebook is constantly under attack by those who say that is a threat to their privacy, but unfortunately not everyone sees it that Facebook is in reality.

My job is to create websites, and for me my privacy is not important: most people I know, more people read my posts for the work I do, and better. After this little introduction we analyze what actually comprises a site like Facebook:

  1. Blog, every user has a bulletin board or your profile if you prefer. This in computer jargon, is normally defined as a Blog.
  2. Photogallery, each user can create several photo albums, easily manageable and very customizable from a graphical point of view.
  3. Messaging, users can send messages and collect them all in a very precise point of the site.
  4. Chat, you can send short (because you could not write a long message even wanting) phrases connected to their friends that Hanoi left "enabled" the instant messaging feature.
  5. Registration user groups, as could be membership of a newsgroup or register for a website that also maintains a newslit.
  6. Access to various applications (usually games or quizzes).
  7. Possibility of following public figures or doing business on the network with one click.

Leaving aside for now the last bullet point (the possibility of following public figures or commercial activities on the network with a click), we can say that the world's most popular social network has not invented anything in terms of content.

The "blog" as a communication tool was created mainly to allow anyone to read your messages, see your photos, share their knowledge and thoughts. Facebook, from my point of view, comes as a set of blogs, so do not see why limit privacy. Then, if the user writes the first of careless thinking, or you publish something unconscious that it should be a message sent to a specific person, well ... poor fools! What says the founder of Facebook (if true) is much too brash, perhaps, I suppose, was talking to his close associate and as is customary, were average users as users are able and very annoying little basic ( Any technique which is in contact with the public or employees in the call center support will give me reason).

The "PHOTO GALLERY" for people who have used websites like FLICK PicasaWeb or nothing to explain and indeed, I can safely say that on the privacy settings are identical, to share only with friends or with everyone. Only PicasaWeb integrates a system of sharing "to user" very easy and guided. If you publish the photos (although obscene or compromising or indiscreet) is normal if the photos are public all to see. Of course Wikipedia has a very poor view of customization and graphic resolution. It is not only set the maximum resolution and size "displayed" is available.

The "message" we can say that works like an email with two differences: it is more convenient because it connects the "friends" under an automatic, we no longer know the email address of a person to write because it is delivered to recipient you choose from a list already prepared, it is more uncomfortable because you can not use it in a mail client or a mobile device generic, should be required to enter the website to read and write a fake email.

The "CHAT" is absolutely one of the oldest applications of the Internet, you can also think of IRC or ICQ or thousands of other instant messaging programs. The main difference that characterizes that Facebook is that it is uncomfortable, often gets lost in the pages and it is not easy to write on a permanent basis if you browse the site. Fortunately, websites like Meebo allows you to chat on Facebook more seriously, almost as the very practical optimized chat Gmail-Gtalk. Remains free of LOG and if you close the session we can lose the whole discourse. Recommended.

The "user group" are very similar to the newsgroup or a site with a newslist, as it can about a specific topic (such as may be a product, a specific topic or a personal thought) and administrators can send a message to all members.

"Applications" were already on the web, of course, in recent years has also greatly developed with the speech development Web2 applications, Flash, and support more interactive languages such as AJAX. Facebook does not make almost any application, mainly hosts other applications that reside on third-party server and the code has been developed by other companies (such as kerosene are games such as Farmville, Pet Society, Mafia Wars). Sometimes the same applications are also available in Extra Mode Facebook, for example at the website of the supplier or other social networks such as MySpace or LinkedIn).

Last point: the possibility of following public figures or commercial activities on the network with a click, even if it is similar enough to simply visit on specific websites or join the newslist dedicated, it is a function which would be meaningless without a social network The main advantage consists in the possibility to follow indirectly a specific topic with a single click.

All other functions not listed in this scheme can be summarized in the diagram above indirectly, for example the publication link, video or update their status are features of the Blog. The only real advantage that Facebook has made a winner is what most challenged (but useful) ie the possibility of seeing friends SUGGESTED. Facebook in its code provides innovative feature that allows you to determine whether a user can know another person on the basis of mutual friends. Once the score of "similar means" salt to a TOT layer system suggests that users get in touch with the possible knowledge (ie invasion of privacy?). This is possible thanks to a huge database and a code "magic", now also used to determine the popularity of a particular post.

You posted pictures of "indiscretions" on the Internet? You send emails / messages compromising through a social network (where the first word is really social?). I confine myself to my messages and other content to really consider what the public for the rest of the email there (much more personal and less acceptable), sms, phone call, or better yet a meeting in person.

Draw your own conclusions and rated well below.

change the permissions to all files of windows (documents and settings and users)

Dedicated to the system administrator.

Have you ever access to a HDD attacking the fly to your workstation and find that you waste time on time, minutes and minutes to change the permissions of all files, all of the directories (folders) to a user who has set the their data private?

And maybe there is some urgency because who has set as private documents is a client who now rush to retrieve data, having shattered his windows installation, because it needs it NOW! ;-)

The answer is no! Works with all versions of NTFS that are used today (both Windows 2000, both with XP, both with the newest Windows Vista and 7).

It's called TakeControlOf and works under "dos".

Once you download the file (which is nothing if a script), it should copy it for our convenience, the root of the hard disk where you can find the files and directories that we must change the permissions.

Now you must open the MS-DOS with one of these methods:

Windows 2000 + Windows XP + Windows Server 2003

start -> run -> write cmd and press ENTER

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt (or MS DOS prompt),

Windows Vista + Windows 7 + Windows Server 2008

start -> write CMD and holding CTRL + SHIFT and press ENTER (make sure to select the command CMD)
(The CTRL + SHIFT operation is to give administrative rights)

Even Windows 2008 Vista/7/Server can open the "Run", is virtually useless in this case, but you can open easily by pressing the Windows key + R. Opening run, however, have problems with the operation of the UAC, so it is a procedure recommended.

Once you open the MS-DOS prompt, the procedure is simple:

x: \ objectname TakeControlOf.cmd

Where X is the drive and objectname is the directory (or folder) or file to which we must change the permissions.

The transaction is ricursiva then be applied to all objects in directory and all subdirectories, and is virtually irreversible (can not remember or know all to well the permissions on files and directories of a Windows not running! ), nothing serious, but keep in mind that when we are going to change all permissions to all the contents of a hard drive system, this will be much more vulnerable and not very attentive to privacy.

Obviously has no function in the case of FAT or FAT32.
