Following the recent Facebook privacy scandal, have you changed your behaviour on Facebook? Are you conscious about how much you share and are you worried about your privacy?

The recent Facebook scandal has not only made me worried about the things I choose to post to Facebook but to social media as a whole. To often do my social media feeds provide me with ads and targeted messages obviously shown to me through observation of my internet use. As a young adult living away from home, Facebook is a platform I associate with sharing parts of my personal life with a selected group of friends and family. The recent scandal has changed the way I interact with my own family, due to the fear that what I post privately is now not private at all. The reoccurring joke of "my phone is listening to me" amongst friends seems to have taken a startling serious tone and however this conversation seems directed mostly at Americans, it stimulates the question of how much information are we sharing unwillingly across all media platform?
