2.5 The Fornicator - daddy of all roles he managed to keep secret

Eight years ago, Arnold Schwarznegger as governor of California married Maria Shriver. However, he acknowledged having a child with another woman who he wasn't married. The woman's name was Baena, 50 a housekeeper at the Schwarznegger house for 20 years. She posted a picture of her son in a website. Schwarznegger's wife, Mrs. Schiver dicided to divorce the following day when she found out that Arnold Schwarznegger had another child. However, she said she was warried about her children. Their children had difficulty accepting their father's scandal and showed their feelings on their social networking sites. The secrets are being revealed to the world and it is of great interest to the entertainment world.

When I heard this news, I thought it was not so unusual, because divorce rates in America are very high, especially very famous people like movie stars, sport players and politicians. I wonder why Arnold Schwarznegger talked about his secret for himself. It's a late to say the truth. He admitted to his mistake and gave the consolation money that his wife requested. That means he probably already knew about how his affair would shock his family. Of course, his wife and 4 children, and the people of the world felt betrayed. I think, if he could have kept his secret to the end, they would not have known about his love affair. In the wake of his actions he has made everyone unhappy.

2.8 Facebook sorry over face tagging launch

Facebook apologized to their users who complained about their tagging service. This service allows people to copy other people photographs and to put them on their blog without their permission. Many users reported it as stolen personal information, because they did not want their photos used in that way. A Facebook spokeman said that only friends can use Facebook and people can check strangers by name, but they admitted that Facebook couldn't control user's privacy. On other side, people in the Canadian privacy commission said Facebook has greatly developed, but it needs to limit scanning photos and the making of albums.

In Korea, there are many websites like Facebook. This may mean that there were many problems about personal problems between people and companies. Many of entertainers, for example, singers, actresses and talents have their information uesd without their permission. This has sometimes led to stress, mental illness and suicide. People are confused about the sharing and copying of information. I think it is very difficult to solve problem, because sometimes we can't see the user's face or personal details on the website. It is not just about apologizing to their users. In the article, the tagging service has now been launched globally. My concern is for the issue of personal information and how it will unfold in the world network.
