Summary: this week Mark Zuckerberg has come under major scrutiny, as well as last week, for a massive data breach of 87 million users data being collected by a British consulting firm, Cambridge analytica. Today, Zuckerberg, in a dark suit, came to many lawmakers in Washington and, again, apologized for the massive breach. Also, he reiterated that the company would be doing a private investigation of the breach, and would also be updating its users privacy policy. In addition, his company would be doing independent study as to the affects of social media on elections worldwide.
Position: once again, ladies and gentlemen, we see another instance of where your information is never really private on the Internet. While your profile may say private, or for friends only, and it’s only a matter of time before a sniffling teenager behind a keyboard and screen is able to access your information and‘s almost steal your identity. This is why Americans need to be educated in proper etiquette when using the Internet. Minimize your usage, and minimize the information that can be accessed.

I agree, putting all your personal information on the internet is never a good idea, even if the company says it's protected.
