Paolo Cirio and Alessandro Ludovico's project Face to Facebook is a bit disturbing. Although Facebook is allow to use our photos for advertisements, having Paolo and Alessandro to take photos of us and posting it on a dating website seems to be disturbing. It can lead to people getting paranoid and wondering if someone is stalking him/her or something. If they ask permission first and the person agrees then it would be okay, but if do it without asking it doesn't seem right. They created it to show that there can be consequences by sharing one's information to a public website. How it is easy to get informations from someone through a website. It created a lot of awareness.
