Privacy Blog Assignment#6

Four online services:

  1. Instagram
  2. Facebook
  3. Snapchat
  4. GroupMe
Privacy Settings are & options for privacy:
  1. Instagram is private in my account, if you are not following me you are not able to see it.Their is only 2 options because one is public and the other is private.
  2. Facebook is private for a lot of reasons, the options they offer are public,private and you get to choose who you can make it private to and stuff like that.
  3. Snapchat in general is private for everyone, if you don't have them as a friend you wont be receiving the 10 second pictures or videos.
  4. GroupMe is a app specialized to message anyone in general. This app wont work if your not in a group. The privacy setting is if you are in a group messaging their the only ones that can see the message.
Summary: 
I believe that the one with the best privacy setting will be Instagram because without you approving them and they approving you they don't have any way of looking at your post. Instagram in fact recently got a new privacy policy and they wrote a new statement of how its going to help the privacy settings and stuff like that. The worst policy would be probably Facebook because if you choose specific people and you might mess it up so that everyone can see it except the people you blocked. I feel really secure using these services because before I post anything I think it twice because once its in the media will always be even if you delete it. As well the privacy is really advanced now to the point that you only could see their name or picture. Not having enough information to identify you with these settings.
