many people on facebook set up privacy functions because they want to hide certain aspects of their "facebook life". Some people want to be so left alone that their make it impossible for people to find them unless they add the other person first. People in general are concerned about personal information, whether it be aspects of our life or something as important as our finances, Mark Zuckerberg has made everyone online more concerned. Who has created a website that can pull data from anyone’s social network site SPOKEO. Through Spokeo, you type in anyones name it will then pull data from its massive scraped database of personal information and provide you with every detail you did, or didn’t want to know about that person’s life. Spokeo collects information not only from online profiles, but also from government censuses, property listings, and business websites. It is funny because who would want or even need to know all that type of information about someone unless they were up to something no good, or a potential stalker. I honestly feel that a website like this should not be allowed, but all the information that is put is all information that a person advertises about themselves already (facebook profile). So all this at a mere $4.95 a month and you can become a full pledged stalker!!!
