Especially in recent years we have been watching the spectacular rise of social networking on the network, see, Facebook, Tuenti, Hi5, etc.. Here, have great benefits, it is well known by all and a "server" is a frequent user of them. However, there are few occasions when we wonder whether we run a risk to throw a huge part of these virtual communities, ie, we forget the dark side of social networks. First we should ask ourselves if our privacy is guaranteed. How Facebook guarantees us a minimum security hanging in the archives? A major problem in the network of networks, is the great "power vacuum" existing legal. The issue is extremely complex, because in such diverse networks share information with people from more varied sources, and the scope of legal control is exponentially more difficult as it complicates the puzzle. Let me give an example, if a user of a social network with a server, for example Asia, did misuse of our information the possibilities are practically zero help. It is true that this kind of services we offer alternatives such as "Report Inappropriate Content", but this makes me consider the following, if you ask other users to control the use by others in a kind of vigilance towards each others where all comments (something that inevitably reminds me of the panopticon described by Michel Foucault) is not absolving itself, relatively, the company in question of a role that would fall legitimately?, ensure minimum security and quality service.
Second, and rescuing back to genius, and very handy, Foucault could understand the social networks as a mechanism of power in which all are controlled at all, in which the events that have affected a group of friends are made public and allow admiration or rejection of other individuals outside the problem. Sometimes I have witnessed lynchings (social call them) that some users have had to endure unpleasant episiodios as observing that a picture has been posted commits them to become the "official clown" of the day, such as using these platforms to end someone's reputation in a second blasphemously unfounded (or with them, but I've never been an advocate of revenge and popular opinion). Returning to the subject of the control mechanism is largely known for most of you who have recently come to our ears news that companies refer to as "police" the profiles of their workers to keep them under control, to hire or even fire. But this goes beyond, I remember that struck me reading a story by the British newspaper The Guardian in stating that universities like Cambridge inspect the profile of their candidates before accepting them as students

As you know, there will be a bit more cautious from now, or at least try:)
