Blog Assignment 6: Privacy

Four online services that I use are Facebook, UHD Blackboard, Yahoo mail, and Google blogger. They have many different options as far as the account security or privacy settings. Facebook has options such as making my profile private, public, viewable to only friends. It also has an option to block unnecessary tagging from people in your friends list. I can also deactivate my account any time I want to if I don’t feel like I’m going to be using for a while. The UHD blackboard allows me to make my email, address, phone number private so that I am the only one that can see this information. I can hide my name off the roster so that only the teacher can see my name and no one else. Google blogger has a setting where I can check all the previous records as to when I have logged and if any log in timings are not accurate, I can file a complaint. Yahoo mail has a privacy option in which if I suspect that someone else logged in, I can set up a secondary log in verification. Or change my password so that it doesn’t happen again. I feel that Facebook has the most privacy settings and  the best one is the setting to deactivate when you’re not using it and then being able to activate again when you want to use it. UHD blackboard has the worst since there are not a lot of privacy setting options.
