Nowadays, social networking sites allow people to post updates which even strangers can read. However, I
do not believe this means people’s privacy is destroyed by using these sites.
First and foremost, when people post an update on a social network, it is usually their decision. Most people only upload pictures or post comments they want people to see.
Also, most social networking media allow us to control who sees our information. For example, you can allow only some people you are connected with to see certain updates. Furthermore, joining these sites means agreeing to certain terms. For instance, we permit the company to access our details. If we don’t agree, we can decide not to join the site.
In conclusion, I believe we choose what personal information others see on social media. Therefore, it is not
the sites that destroy our privacy. By joining them in the first place, we are agreeing to make our lives public.

A visit to London can be tempted at any time of year, but spring is the best time to head for this popular city.
Although seeing the bright lights of the Christmas decorations in winter is an amazed experience, walking
through crowds of shoppers in the cold gets exhausting after a while. In spring, it becomes easier to get
around, and after a day’s sightseeing, you won’t feel as if you’ve got trekking uphill. London’s many parks are at their best at this time of year if you fancy a relaxed walk away from the noise of the traffic. Visitors are often surprising by the size of London’s parks and how central they are, but they are never disappointed by them. If you’re lucky, you may even see a play or a concert in the park, as there’s usually some cultural event going without.
