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.
