FACEBOOK LISTED IN STOCK EXCHANGE, AS IS OUR PRIVACY?


He has not yet turned 28 years old but is already among the richest and most powerful men the world dl. I’m talking about Mark Zuckerberg, the famous inventor of Facebook, that within less than 10 years has come to create an empire of 17.5 billion dollars. Consider that in 2003, Zuckerberg was just a freshman at Harvard, just come to university to study psychology and computer science, and immediately planned Facemash, the forerunner of Facebook we know now. Since then, Zuckerberg has always refused to sell the fruits of his labor, that over the years had become thefacebook.com and had already greatly increased its popularity and its value, so you get to reject a bid from billionaire Microsoft in 2007.

And even now that the social networking wunderkind prepares to land on the stock exchange and to quote his “gem” that to date, with 800 million users, is the busiest website in the world, has decided to stand firm at the helm the city.

Indeed in these days Facebook has submitted documentation to give life to his placing of the shares. This is one of the most anticipated by the markets do the IPO of Google, the Silicon Valley giant. I read that the initial public offering will be between 75 and 100 billion dollars and that the goal is to make one of the best debuts in the history of stock.

And I have no doubt it will be like this: 845 million monthly visitors and a turnover for 2011 amounted to 3.71 billion dollars will make Facebook a title very attractive to global investors.

But what happens when there are important pieces of the company are held by private individuals or other companies? As is all set to break the bank on Wall Street are still unresolved issues? Buy the securities will mean having access to personal information? Who can guarantee your privacy once Facebook becomes a public company? Was calculated that for every Facebook user gain, $ 4.39, so little is our privacy?
