how to make facebook private to public 2012
First off, the "problem" this ineffective solution supposedly addresses is a non-existent one: Facebook isn't claiming copyright to the personal information, photographs, and other material that their users are posting to the social network, nor have they announced any plans that would make all Facebook posts public (even previously deleted ones) regardless of a user's privacy settings):
France's data watchdog said Tuesday that Facebook users' privacy had not been breached, a week after summoning officials from the social networking site over rumours that private messages were being posted publicly. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); ); The CNIL said it was "satisfied that there was no bug or technical glitch that made public the private messages or personal information of Facebook users."The French government last Tuesday summoned Facebook managers to explain rumours that some users' privacy had been violated.Facebook, which had then denied that such messages were appearing on users' "Timelines", which can be accessed by a large Internet audience, said it had been vindicated.CNIL said the rumours may have stemmed from the fact that some users had sent public "Wall-to-Wall" messages mistakenly thinking they were private ones.Concerns that private Facebook messages from 2007, 2008 or 2009 were being posted for public viewing spread wildly on Twitter last Monday after a story first appeared in the free French daily Metro.But experts rubbished the claim."The 9/11 of private life has not happened," said Vincent Glad from Slate.fr, the French incarnation of the US-based online current affairs and culture magazine.Glad said a similar rumour circulated in Finland last year.US technology news website Techcrunch said: "We have found no evidence that the allegedly exposed posts were actually private messages. Our Facebook specialist... found that email receipts show allegedly exposed messages were in fact Wall posts, and the posts do not appear in users' Facebook Messages inbox." (c) 2012 AFP
That darn SEC ruleThe key reason Facebook is going public is because of an antiquated Securities and Exchange Commission rule from 1964 that says that any private company with more than 500 "shareholders of record" must adhere to the same financial disclosure requirements that public companies do. That means filing detailed quarterly and yearly financial reports, and dealing with all the scrutiny that comes with a powerful company opening its books.
That's OK, but options are better. For one thing, early Facebook employees--the ones who received options--have been able to sell some of their holdings, and plenty have done just that. They've used SharesPost or SecondMarket, companies that have emerged to make markets in private stock. Facebook has consistently been SecondMarket's most actively traded stock, and the most active sellers are former employees.
Given that, going public is important to help Facebook keep good people, although some newly rich always bolt (as happened at Google). It should also cheer up those with restricted stock units, which plenty of Facebookers have privately griped about.
Face it, Zuck: You'll be more powerful as a public companyPeople like to say that public companies aren't able to move on a dime, to take big risks outside the scrutiny of Wall Street. But I don't buy it. Apple under the late Steve Jobs should be the model for Zuckerberg. Jobs consistently made products--think the iPhone, or the iPad--that lesser leaders wouldn't have dared make because they would have feared cannibalizing money makers (the iPod and laptops in the Apple example) and pissing off Wall Street.
A "face book" is a student directory featuring photos and basic information.[12] In 2003, there were no universal online facebooks at Harvard, with only paper sheets distributed[16] and private online directories.[9][17] Zuckerberg told the Crimson that "Everyone's been talking a lot about a universal face book within Harvard. ... I think it's kind of silly that it would take the University a couple of years to get around to it. I can do it better than they can, and I can do it in a week."[17] In January 2004, Zuckerberg began writing code for a new website, known as "TheFacebook", with the inspiration coming from an editorial in the Crimson about Facemash, stating that "It is clear that the technology needed to create a centralized Website is readily available ... the benefits are many." Zuckerberg met with Harvard student Eduardo Saverin, and each of them agreed to invest $1,000 in the site.[10] On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched it under the name of "TheFacebook", originally located at thefacebook.com.[18]
The company dropped 'The' from its name after purchasing the domain name facebook.com in 2005 for $200,000.[27] The following year, the platform was made available for high school students, and in 2006, it became accessible to the general public.
On March 12, 2012, Yahoo! filed suit in a U.S. federal court against Facebook weeks before the scheduled Facebook initial public offering. In its court filing, Yahoo! said that Facebook had infringed on ten of its patents covering advertising, privacy controls and social networking. Yahoo! had threatened to sue Facebook a month before the filing, insisting that the social network license its patents. A spokesperson for Facebook issued a statement saying "We're disappointed that Yahoo, a long-time business partner of Facebook and a company that has substantially benefited from its association with Facebook, has decided to resort to litigation".[53] The lawsuit claims that Yahoo!'s patents cover basic social networking ideas such as customizing website users' experiences to their needs, adding that the patents cover ways of targeting ads to individual users.[54] In 2012, Facebook App Center, an online mobile store, was rolled out. The store initially had 500 Facebook apps which were mostly games.[55]
Facebook filed for an initial public offering (IPO) on February 1, 2012.[98] The preliminary prospectus stated that the company was seeking to raise $5 billion. The document announced that the company had 845 million active monthly users and its website featured 2.7 billion daily likes and comments.[99] After the IPO, Zuckerberg retains a 22% ownership share in Facebook and owns 57% of the voting shares.[100]
On December 27, 2012, CBS News reported that Randi Zuckerberg, sister of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, criticized a friend for being "way uncool" in sharing a private Facebook photo of her on Twitter, only to be told that the image had appeared on a friend-of-a-friend's Facebook news feed. Commenting on this misunderstanding of Facebook's privacy settings, Eva Galperin of the EFF said "Even Randi Zuckerberg can get it wrong. That's an illustration of how confusing they can be."[2]
In August 2007, the code used to generate Facebook's home and search page as visitors browse the site was accidentally made public.[3][4] A configuration problem on a Facebook server caused the PHP code to be displayed instead of the web page the code should have created, raising concerns about how secure private data on the site was. A visitor to the site copied, published and later removed the code from his web forum, claiming he had been served and threatened with legal notice by Facebook.[5] Facebook's response was quoted by the site that broke the story:[6] 2ff7e9595c
