Those "people" that I am referring to, would be the attention seeking, insecure people on Facebook. From the article On Facebook, Biggest Threat to Your Private Data May Be You, I learned that I am not the only person who notices that there are desperate people out there who will post something-anything just to be liked, or have their status "liked."
Now author Jacquielynn Floyd is talking about when people go too far and share too much of their personal information on the internet, and then are scared or worried when someone they don't really know gets that information. In this argument, I totally agree with Floyd. No one would no anything about you unless you told them first. Posting things about your personal life on a site like Facebook, or anywhere on the internet, is just asking for it.
Floyd used good information to back up her writing, and she used good emphasis to back up her point. Giving examples helped paint a very clear picture in how people endanger themselves by posting personal information online.
I hope that her argument will reach out to a few people and they will be able to recognize if they fall into that category. People get so wrapped up in "friend requests" and how many "likes" you receive, that they sometimes forget the information they post, and just how many of their Fb "friends" are actually their friends in real life. Floyd uses a similar example in her article, and I really helps point out the main problem. So in the end, Floyd's argument was both relevant and realistic, as well as valid and backed up.
Great lead that connected you to the argument, Caylee!
