A person who is willing to look at the social media systems with eyes that see what they are doing is a person who can execute their rights effectively. The social systems force a user to do nothing; they do strongly suggest that a user do certain things, however. They may make it seem like the user has to do something to use the system, but in most cases, in the fine print, it is not necessary. Therefore, a lot of the privacy that a social network takes from a person is unnecessary and a person can stop it by reading the fine print and making an informed decision. This is the best way to make sure that an individual or business maintains the privacy they want or need on every social platform.
The social media systems collect information about a user. They have to because that's what keeps the doors open and the lights on in the business. They have to collect information because that is the only asset that the social systems have because they do not have a tangible product or service. A social media system could have charged for their product or service, however, they would have had to set that precedent from the very beginning. Their networks have grown too large to start charging because they would lose users if they started to charge for their systems.
The social media systems collect information about their users under the guise of security. Whether or not this is intentional remains to be seen, however, the social networks ask for information such as a birth date, and an address to verify a user. This same information is used to generate revenue for the business. This is the only collateral they have in a social system and the social media systems have no qualms about selling the information at all.
Therefore, the fix for all these situations is using a person's will to change the situation. A person chooses what information goes on a social networking system and what information does not go on the system. Therefore, a person that spends time managing their social system for privacy is a person who is smart. They have more privacy on the system than anyone who does not manage their social media privacy well. Therefore, a person must think about what they are doing and how they are doing it because the social media system is collecting the information and they will use it in the future.
