Facebook is a unique social
networking site that has been
around since 2006. its sophisticated
way of informing you
about all of the activities of
your friends and family has
made it almost a family name.
From TV shows to college professors,
it’s hard to find someone
without a Facebook
account.
But Facebook has been making
many changes recently, and
bucks students have spoken
out about their reactions to
these changes.
Hassan Nasser, 22 a cinema
and video production major,
has been on Facebook for five
years and said, “i really don’t
notice the changes. everything
still seems regular to me.” he
also said that the people at
Facebook are just doing this to
keep everyone interested in
logging on.
“i just go with the flow, when
Facebook changes i just learn
how to work it its no big deal,”
tazz bacchus 19, a physical
therapy major from bensalem
said.
Both students thought that
without the changes that
Facebook is making, people
might get bored and stop using
it. they also felt that it’s a good
way to really know what all
your friends are doing, and that
inspires them to log on.
On the other hand many
bucks students are not interested
in the changes, and some
don’t like them at all.
“There’s no privacy. as soon
as you post something everyone
sees it,” Stanley babu, 19 a
biology major from
Philadelphia commented. he
explained that “you can
Facebook, while you
Facebook,” meaning that you
are seeing updates all over
your screen every second you
are logged in.
“I don’t need Facebook
telling me what’s interesting
and what’s not interesting.”
colleen cain, a 19-year-old
engineering major said.
She also said that she has
been on Facebook for three
years and the only reason why
she still uses it is to keep in
touch with old and new
friends, although it’s hard to do
that when everything keeps
changing.
Privacy is a major issue to all
the students who are against
the Facebook changes. they
find themselves having to
change their privacy settings
daily because they have
noticed that all their information
is on someone else’s news
feed.
Because of the unwanted
changes, it has made some students
join or log on to other
social networking websites
like twitter and tumblr
because of the simplicity and
privacy.
To every win there is a loss
and while some people hate the
changes many are not affected
in any way at all or they like
the changes.
T

n the end Facebook is a
worldwide phenomenon. With
or without the changes and
updates it is still one of the
world most talked about topic
and it’s not going anywhere.
