2.    Write the author's name: Michelle Crouch

3.   Before you read, look at the picture(s) if any, as well as the title. What do you think the article will be about?

 

In my opinion as the title says: things Facebook won't tell us, these things might be about something that makes Facebook win money and if we know it we would stop using Facebook and this last point is not convenient to Facebook, because as we know this is the most popular social network around the world.

 

4.    Read the article and describe in as much detail as possible what you understand of it.

 

First, the text talks about privacy information that Facebook uses for its benefit, and gives us some recommendations to protect our privacy. Then it starts to talk about How Facebook uses our information and updates to offer to the companies ways to put ad in our timelines. This text also shows us some options that are certain by Facebook for getting more popularity, and finally this text gives us a funny recommendation for avoiding some unwanted actions from our friends. They are used to make some jokes.
