Welcome! We are the Sociology 49 Facebook Group



Do you really know what you're getting into when you sign up for Facebook?

Our research project investigates two primary areas of interest: (1) the degree to which Facebook upholds its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy with regard to users deactivating and deleting their own Facebook accounts, and (2) how deeply integrated social media—in this case, Facebook—has become in the daily life of a college student. We split up our team of 7 people into three different groups: Delete, Deactivate, and Control groups. 

Use the side bar to navigate through the different groups.

Below are our video blogs of our research and final thoughts regarding the project.

Facebook Video No. 1



Here is the beginning of our project. At this point we are two days into our Facebook activities. Some people are doing just fine, and some people are not. Next we will direct Facebook's Privacy policy and also research the people who don't have Facebook anymore to see if they are still searchable on the web.
