Facebook's New Privacy Policy - Satisfying Users While Making Commercial Sense
Abstract:Under Facebook's new privacy policy announced in January 2015, only focused content was to be allowed into the news feed section of the Facebook account of its users. This change in policy was a result of a survey conducted by Facebook and was aimed at satisfying its users. However, market analysts felt that this move would stifle many businesses, especially small enterprises that promoted their businesses at minimal cost on the Facebook platform. With the change, these businesses would have to pay and advertise to reach Facebook's large user base. The case study covers the revenue model of Facebook and the impact of its new policy on businesses. It facilitates a debate on the reason for the new policy. The importance of social media marketing and the emphasis on focused promotion by the marketers is also brought out through the case. |
