Criterion D
Facebook users are facing a dilemma with privacy issues since the social network is opening public search’s for the public; privacy is a huge concern to most of the Facebook users since they have a lot of private information posted in their limited access web pages.
A feasible solution is that all Facebook users will get a message which says that all of their information will be available for the public and they would have to agree by ticking a box. This will verify that any Facebook user will be satisfied with the fact that any of his/her information will not be private but available for anyone to see. Then a committee would be formed from different groups, these would be software programmers, trusted users form the social network, and other relevant groups. This committee would then vote and choose for what would be sensible for the public to have access to; this would be small stuff like names, E mails, where they come from as a pose to very important information like home addresses and other private info.
The next step is to educate the public with the new rules and new modifications that happened. Then a commission would be made to regulate these standards through then new rules that have been enforced for every one to follow, and if anyone refuses to follow these rules they will face serious consequences and penalties like ban.

Criterion C
Criterion C
Social networking site Face book provides positive impacts on Society. One positive impact on Society is that users in the Facebook website communicate and share information with each other in a social and healthy way. Facebook provides their users private and confidential limited access pages to share and post information to other users.
Facebook provides a good and clear environment for their users but it might also cause negative impacts on society. A negative impact is that Facebook users might be addicted to the social network which will cause the people to exceed their usage of time. This will be a negative approach because it might cause users to waist time and won’t be intact with what’s going on in the society.
The most serious problem is that sometimes Facebook members will post confidential information like credit card numbers, and then other users would try to steel this confidential information. This would go under the crime of fraud but it is very hard to track these users since they have done the crime inside a cyber network with multiple users.
This problem has a very important implication for impact on society because it is a very serious crime with very harsh consequences. But it is very hard to track these criminals because of the fact that all of this fraud is being conducted in cyber space where there aren’t official records of what happened.
