暫別臉書、推特,好主意?
Time for a Facebook or Twitter break
頂尖社群網站也許並非最佳選擇
如果你是沒有臉書帳號的人之一,那麼你的社交生活可能備受磨難。
你不會看到透過臉書發送的派對邀請函;你還會錯過朋友間共享的群組訊息。
當你不屬於臉書每個月二十七億活躍用戶的一員時,很容易就會感覺到自己被周遭的一切排除在外。
然而,不使用臉書的人之所以會避免使用,或許有其正當理由。
近年來,臉書因其處理用戶個資的方式而飽受抨擊。
臉書將網站上的廣告空間賣給其他業主而獲取利潤。
你是否曾在臉書看過似乎専門為你量身打造的廣告?
那並非巧合。
由於廣告業主獲得臉書提供關於你的年齡、所在地、關注話題等資訊,他們當然能以你為目標投放廣告。
能獲得自己適用的商品暨服務似乎很有助益,不過,有些人認為臉書從用户端所蒐集來的資料攸關隱私權的剝削利用。
