With the recent lawsuits regarding Facebook privacy intrusions, we asked students at UCLA about their Facebook privacy concerns.
Bill Kwon
Fifth-year, physiological science
“I am not really an active Facebook user but I don’t think a lot of people even know these privacy problems exist. I do have friends who deactivate their Facebook accounts when they are applying for jobs.”
Alex Zai
Third-year, chemical engineering
“I do not post anything bad because my sister works for the federal government and she says people will look at your profile when you work and apply for jobs.”
Sydney Leshin
Fourth-year, biology
“It’s definitely a privacy concern when future employers are looking at profile pages. Our privacy should be highly protected by the companies we trust with our information.”
Julia Thulin
First-year, bioengineering
“I used to have it all on privacy settings but I joined a sorority and I had to open it up. I am not working or going to apply for jobs for a while so I won’t change it until then.”
