Annotation 1 :Who Give Rise to Privacy Exposure on Social Net Platform? (Revised)

        As the co- founder, owner of the most influential, profitable social website, Facebook, in an interview with TechCrunch during 2010, Zuckerburg had revealed his thesis that “privacy is no longer a social norm.” His speech aroused lots of discussion from ordinary Facebook users to professors studying in mass media.

       Many may argue, or even criticize harshly, against Zuckerburg’s response. They may feel it is quite an offense toward human right when it comes to privacy issue. However, what I have discovered in it is the future trend of social web platforms.

     According to Zuckerburg, people have “really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds.” Since the blog open the new era of internet services, which suggest that we can also demonstrate our own opinions and feelings without the suppression from mainstream media, social web platform has developed for more than ten years. In this ten- year evolution, more and more functions are added, such as picture sharing, outside- webpage links and so on. All these innovations share one common idea: open. Namely, all these efforts are to make us easier to upload our information and share it with friends in cyber world. Interestingly enough, although doubt and criticism, people tend to be elaborate to embrace these changes. Evidence shows how we love to demonstrate us on the internet: In 2007, take Taiwan as an example, Wretch blog on Yahoo welcomes its peak with approximately twenty million users. But for Facebook, which is much more bald and enlightened in information share, reach one billon in user account during 2013. What’s more, this number is still rising. It is obvious that getting our information, no matter it is pictures, personal profile or our posts, open and even wide- spread are the future trend in social web platform. As Zuckerburg had pointed, our norm in privacy and social interaction really becomes different overtime.

     In near future, perhaps merely in one or two years, it is inevitable that we have to face the cyber world with less restriction in information sharing. At that time, it is necessary that we shift our notion with the tide.
