danah boyd,<\/a>\u00a0a distinguished author on studies of the Internet, whom we first studied in her writing\u00a0\u00a0“White Flight in Networked Publics?”<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0“Why Youth (Heart) Social Network Sites”<\/a>\u00a0also writes about Facebook’s Privacy Trainwreck<\/a>\u00a0after it’s 2006 introduction of the newsfeed. I decided to study this article because many users don’t remember Facebook’s technology pre-news-feed. What’s interesting about Facebook’s introduction of new features & re-designs is that it’s almost always contested by most users before it is desired and loved. Those of us who have used Facebook for a long time have seen many statuses after the release of each feature denouncing it.<\/p>\n

danah boyd, in her article brings up many key points about the news feed we now have very few complaints about,\u00a0especially\u00a0relating to privacy. danah points out that prior to the news feed, all the information displayed on the newsfeed still existed, but was just not aggregated. \u00a0danah points out a very interesting note: that the newsfeed by aggregating social activities creates a culture that makes people feel left out for not having been in a social activity.\u00a0Marshall McLuhan, talked about the notion of a global village, and stated that even as we become closer, sometimes we become farther. While Facebook news feed is now much more personalized and algorithmically calculates\u00a0relevant\u00a0posts based on social relationships and how close you are with a certain person, the initial news feed simply listed posts backwards on time of all friends. Facebook has handled privacy in an amazing manner since the publication of this article: by allowing post visibility, limited visibility, and by socially aggregating relevant content.<\/p>\n

User: \u2018Who do I talk to the most?\u2019
\nCobot: \u2018Peter.\u2019
\nUser: \u2018Who does Peter talk to the most?\u2019
\nCobot: \u2018Dan.\u2019
\nUser (to self): WHAT!?!? Why does Peter talk to Dan more than me? *$%& him, I\u2019m not
\ntalking to Peter anymore . .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The above post is an example of how Facebook is used to creative negative self-confidence for individuals. Another popular phenomenon is FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) created by social networks when individuals see events on social networks. \u00a0Facebook has done a great job of fixing many of the privacy issues (social\u00a0convergence, weighting friends) that danah claims as social issues.<\/p>\n
