The Era for Privacy is Over - says the founder of Facebook

Social Networking Sites today have become very much close to the internet users and they are very much popular too. The social networking site like Facebook and Twitter has already shown us how.

Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg (speaking at TechCrunch's 'Crunchie' awards in San Francisco), said 'the growth of social networking over the last decade means that people no longer have an expectation of privacy.' (source: techradar) He also added that the privacy was no longer a 'social norm' and said people have become much comfortable sharing their information more openly and with more people. And what (privacy) used to a 'social norm' has now became a thing of past as the people has become more and more social even with their private matters.

Zuckerberg said, "When I got started in my dorm room at Harvard, the question a lot of people asked was, 'why would I want to put any information on the internet at all?'
"Then in the last 5 or 6 years, blogging has taken off in a huge way, and just all these different services that have people sharing all this information."

Techradar also mentioned that ,'By no coincidence at all, Facebook has recently changed the privacy settings of its 350 million users.' ,which is truly a major step especially regarding our privacy and what Zuckerberg wants to say is, "Doing a privacy change for 350 million users is not the kind of thing that a lot of companies would do. But we viewed that as a really important thing, to always keep a beginner's mind and what would we do if we were starting the company now and we decided that these would be the social norms now and we just went for it."
