ONLINE ORGAN DONOR"Privacy issues and oversharing of personal information on social media platforms have always been a bit of a delicate topic, where particularly Facebook has been repeatedly under fire. However, the concept of sharing personal data has now taken a bit more of a serious and thought provoking note. Mark Zuckerberg announced at the beginning of the week that Facebook has added an organ donor status to its Timeline view. Users can add where and when they signed up and share their donation stories. “ We believe that by simply telling people that youʼre an organ donor, the power of sharing and connection can play an important role.” the company wrote in a blog post. The feature also allows you to find a link to an official donor registry in your area. Could social media actually have the power to save lives?!
