Facebook has been tricking people into using its socalled “fun, free service”.
Users, however, are actually paying an unconscious high price—the leak of their personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook because people don't really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep
everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—you could create your own little
private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your
city, your photo, your friends' names—were set to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook's vicepresident Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to
improve its service, and if people don't share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”．
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money.
Its original
business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the pages, was a total
failure. Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington.
In April,
Senator Charles Sehumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy.
He also urged the
Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for socialnetworking sites.
Whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it's only the beginning, and that is
why I'm considering closing my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I'm upset by the idea that
my information is in the hands of people I don't trust. That's too high a price to pay.

(2024·江西重點中學聯考)I've just got to talk about this problem I'm having with my postman. It all began a year ago, after the birth of his first child. Not wanting to appear rude, I asked him about the baby. The next week, not wanting him to think I had asked out of mere politeness the week before, I asked all about the baby again. Now I can't break the habit. I freeze whenever I see him coming. The words “How's the baby？” come out on their own. It holds me up. It holds him up. So why can't I stop it?
The answer is that I want him to like me. Come to think of it, I want everyone to like me.
My sister had the same problem with the caretaker of her block of flats: “All he ever does is complain; he talks at me rather than to me, never listens to a word I say, and yet for some reason I'm always really nice to him. I'm worried in case I have a difficulty one day, and he won't lift a finger to help.”
What about at work? Richard Lawton, a management trainer, warns: “Those managers who are actually liked by most of their staff are always those to whom being liked is not the primary goal. The qualities that make managers popular are being honest with staff, treating them as human beings and observing common politeness like saying hello in the morning.” To explain the point, Richard mentions the story of the company chairman who desperately wanted to be liked and who, after making one of his managers fired, said with moist
(濕潤的)
eyes that he was so, so sorry the man was leaving. The employee replied: “If you were that sorry, I wouldn't be leaving.” The lesson being, therefore, that if you try too hard to be liked, people won't like you.
The experts say it all starts in childhood. “If children feel they can only get love from their parents by being good，” says Zelda West-Meads, a marriage guidance consultant, “they develop low self-confidence and become compulsive_givers.” But is there anything wrong in being a giver, the world not being exactly short of takers? Anne Cousins believes there is. “There is a point at which giving becomes unhealthy，” she says. “It comes when you do things for others but feel bad about it.”
I am now trying hard to say to people “I feel uncomfortable about saying this, but ...” and tell myself “Refusal of a request does not mean rejection of a person” and I find I can say almost anything to almost anyone.
