Facebook is a social network that allows people to communicate with their friends and exchange information. It was launched on 2004 by Harvard College students who wanted to share informations. Then, over the next year other universities were allowed to join, it worked with different universities email adresses.
Today, Facebook is very popular in a lot of countries especially among students. It enables you to share your photos with people you've chosen, it might be your friends or people of grups that interest you. Indeed, only some people have access to your profile and your photos, it creates a community for each school, society... For the moment, it remains private because you have to allow people to go on your page.
I said for the moment because Microsoft has just bought a part of Facebook. According to Steve Ballmer, president of Microsoft, Facebook is a network very profitable. Indeed, advertisers have an incredible opportuity to know exactly the target aimed : their tastes, their passions... The idea of Microsoft is to sell facebookers' profiles to advertisers, in order to help them to take aim at the perfect target.
Some people are consorting in ordrer to face wath they call a "threat" to private life.
