On the new “MacVoices” (http://www.macvoices.com), Maria Langer looks at Facebook privacy issues.
She describes how Facebook created a “community page” about her, without her acknowledgement or consent, and invited anyone and everyone to “help.” Facebook’s privacy settings can be a double-edged sword, revealing and restricting your content at the same time. Langer talks about that, as well as the pressure she has been receiving to more actively participate on Facebook and other forms of social media, why that participation is so different from posting things to her blog or having a Wikipedia page, and how easy it is to lose control of one’s online identity.
“MacVoices” is an Internet show and podcast that delivers in-depth discussions with the most influential people in the Mac industry, as well as “the individuals who are out there making it happen on the front lines of the global Apple community,” according to host Chuck Joiner.
