Criteria D- solutions to problems arising from the issue
Privacy is an important issue with social networking. While using 'Facebook.com', people can see what one person has been doing by checking out the 'News Feeds' and the 'Mini Feeds' section on the website. Before there was an option that would enable you to stop people from seeing what you have been doing; to keep it private, however now there is no such option.
A way to solve any privacy issue for a social network website other than 'Facebook.com' is by having an option when someone is making their profile, or even having facebook, where they can go back and edit their profile for them to keep their profile as a private one so that other than their friends can see what is going on with their profile. This would help the private issue, and the website would be more reliable.
However this could have been asked before for the Facebook people to do, because there is always a way for someone to see someone else's profile; they would need to regulate it more.

Criteria C
Criteria C-
Social networking can have many positive impacts on the society and negative impacts.
A positive impact on the society when using social networking is that people can get to know each other through facebook, myspace, HI5 and more. They can make long time friendships. They can also can find their old friends that they have not talked to for a long time Kurt Soller wrote that he kept adding people on his facebook from the university he was going attend at, and when he went after finishing high school, he met all those people that he added. These social networking websites help people interact socially (Soller, 2007).
A negative impact that social networking can impact on the society is that one of the major problems to do with social networking is the things that people post on these websites. Many problems have occurred where people abuse these website and post things that are not meant to be on there. For example where a student intended to get a guard fired, and he posted ideas on Facebook.com where he said that the guard was ' antagonizing students'. The student got expelled. People post hurtful things that can affect others and change their reputation (stone, 2006).
Another negative issue that can affect the society through social networking is a privacy issue. 'Mini feeds' and 'News Feed', these features allow to show users what their friends have been up to, such as adding pictures, items or making comments and much more. These items show other people's privacy, before these feeds would able to prevent people from seeing this information but now there is no option to do so (The Rooster, 2006).
