WEEK 6

When you publish something on the internet, you are basically handing it over to the public.
Personally, all the things i post on social network sites, I think I own them to an extent. They're pictures/videos of me so I think they're mine, but by posting them on the internet I am giving other people the right to look at them. Unless you have copyright on a creation, anyone has the right to take it off the internet. If you didn't want someone to take it or view it, you know not to post it on the internet to begin with.

Social Networking sites give you the choice whether you want to make your pages public or private. If you make it private then only the people you allow can see the content that you post. So the pictures/videos etc you post can only be seen by select few people, unless you decide otherwise (which I think is very risky).
