Facebook users know there's a constant stream of personal information out there thanks to status updates and news feeds. But do social networks and public cell phone use make eavesdropping okay? Susan Jacobson, an assistant professor of in Temple's School of Communications and Theater and an expert on social media, says that eavesdropping has become a "quaint notion." "Today, it's really an issue of managing surveillance. For my students, since they know their friends are watching and maybe there are details they don't want made public, the issue for them is how to manage that surveillance," said Jacobson.
