Most social network content is publicly available. People are encouraged to share, otherwise, online communities would not exist. If all MySpace users had private profiles then it would be very hard to meet new friends. Does Spokeo follow the tradition of publicizing user content?
No, our users’ reading lists have been and will always be private by default. Spokeo is an aggregation tool for reading your friends’ content, not a social network for sharing content. No one will know what you are reading on Spokeo, even if they are friends with you on MySpace or Friendster.
When you request a friendship on social networks, the recipient is notified. On most social networks, when you subscribe to a person’s blog, the recipient is notified as well. Social networks are designed this way to facilitate interpersonal interaction. However, Spokeo is not here to help you make friends. We are here to help you track what you think is important. You are free to track your coworkers and your crushes since your privact is always respected.
We take privacy very seriously because we understand that online reading is just as private as reading real-life letters, books, and magazines. Feel free to contact me if you have any follow-up privacy questions.
Sweet, finally a post that fulfills my research. So many people get this topic wrong. You are a great thinker.
