Sean L. wanted to give his wife a big surprise. He went online and bought a diamond ring for her. Two hours later, his wife texted him. “Who’s the ring for?” Sean was very surprised. He was angry. How did she know about the ring? She wasn’t the only one. In fact, all his Facebook friends received the same news. Sean L. bought a gold diamond ring from overstock.com.


In Shanghai, China, a young couple said good-bye in a subway station. They kissed for a long time. They didn’t see anyone, but someone saw them. Their private kiss became very public. Soon, millions of people all over the world saw them kissing – on the Internet.

What does public mean? It is the opposite of private.


Alison C., 15, was out with a group of people in Dallas, Texas. One member of the group took a picture of her. A few months later, her photo appeared in an advertisement in Australia.

Is there anything you can do when you lose your privacy on the Internet? Some people complain. For example, over 50,000 Facebook users complained about Beacon. They said, “Facebook is posting our private information without our permission.” Facebook stopped using Beacon in this way.

What does “this” refer to?To track online purchases


In many countries, people have a legal right to privacy. When they lose their privacy, they can sue. Sean joined Facebook users to sue Facebook. The Chinese couple sued the Shanghai subway. Alison’s family sued the advertising company.

What does it mean to “sue”? To take to court


The Chinese subway company acted quickly. It fired the guards, apologized publicly, and offered the couple compensation. The couple accepted the money. The other two cases are going to take more time. Sean and Alison may win the end, but it’s already too late. They lost their privacy with just one quick click.

What does compensation mean? Read the paragraph and use the sentences around it, to find the answer.

Dear Advisor,I have a problem. I was logged into my Facebook account when I bought a beautiful ring for my wife. Facebook posted that I bought a ring in my newsfeed. I feel as though I should be able to purchase things without Facebook announcing it to the public. I have a right to privacy, don’t I? Why can they post all the things I buy online? Should I sue?

Thanks,Sean L. What would your advice be to Sean L.?

Dear Sean L.,It is wrong that Facebook posted your purchase online for all to see. Can you imagine if you bought something else much more personal? It is wrong for them to announce anything you don’t post yourself. You should sue them! You have a right to privacy. They did not have your permission to post it. They should not have done it.

Good luck!Jessica Do you agree with Jessica?

Dear Sean L.,When you sign up for Facebook, you agree to their rules. They let you know that they track your purchases if you are logged in. You should have logged out. It is your own fault. If you don’t want your purchases published for all to see, you shouldn’t be a Facebook member. You have no right to sue. If Facebook tells you they will do it, then it is legal.

Sorry to tell you the bad news.Mark

Do you agree with Mark?

Dear Advisor,I love to take pictures of myself and those around me. A few weeks ago, I took a picture of myself with friends. I posted it up on Flickr. Later, someone found the photo and used it in an advertisement without my permission. What right do they have to use my picture without my permission? I very upset. What should I do? I am reluctant to sue because I uploaded the picture onto Flickr. However, I feel the advertisement company should have never used my picture without asking me first.

Any advice would be wonderful!Alison C.
