People are being lured (引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.
Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook, because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook — you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things — your city, your photo, your friends’ names — were set, by default (默认), to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a "less satisfying experience."
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. "I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them," Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning. Which is why I’m considering deactivating (撤销) my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t trust. That’s too high a price to pay.
What does Senator Charles Schumer advocate?
选项
A、Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.
B、Banning the sharing of users’ personal information.
C、Formulating regulations for social-networking sites.
D、Removing ads from all social-networking sites.
答案
C
解析
由题干中的Senator Charles Schumer可将本题出处定位到第6段。该段中提到了Charles Schumer的两个倡议,一是呼吁Facebook改变它的隐私政策,二是希望联邦贸易委员会给社交网站定准则。[C]是对他第二个倡议的同义转述,故为答案。原文中提到的这两个倡议是针对社交网站的隐私问题的,而不是关于网站上投放广告的,[A]是对原文的错误理解。原文没有提到Charles Schumer建议禁止共享用户的个人信息,[B]过于绝对。原文没有提到Charles Schumer建议去除所有社交网站上的广告,排除[D]。
