Despite the current technological revolution, the
American public at large is still rather confused and shocked by the extent to which their private data is used online. In light of The Social Network, much has been made about the ways in which Facebook sells and extends user data to companies that in turn market to its billions (or something) of users. It raises questions about all of the myriad of ways in which companies can use personal data compiled on-line. As the internet creates a more personalized, more convenient service (moreover, as people become addicted to such things), the privacy debate may wind up in the Supreme Court.
FOR: Users should be able to make their own decisions about online privacies. Some people enjoy the services such experiences provide. Users get a lot back from Google and Facebook, for instance, because they are unregulated.
