Privacy & Confidentiality
Privacy and Confidentiality is a big part of social media because it is embedded everywhere within. It can be dangerous at times because strangers can see what you are doing or even where you are which can be very scary. Someone can even take your pictures from your account and create a fake account of you and cause chaos. On social media a person can post or write anything they want because its is like the freedom of speech but whatever you post may be used against you. Each time a person creates an social media account they are required to sign up using their personal information which can be easily taken by hackers and identity theft can happen. It has become very easy to get your information from social media that its just not private anymore but open. So next time you sign up for something be alert on what they are asking for and if you trust them.

Hi Sayful,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the point that privacy and confidentiality is a big part of social media and its embedded everywhere. On my post I talked about how Google actually knows what kind of email you get, what kinds of advertisements you may want to see and that is pretty much how they make money in return for offering you free email service with them. Although there are case where as you described strangers can see what your doing and have your information. I believe it is best to be alert of your information when you are giving it out or posting it on social media. I hope to read more of your posts in the future.

Privacy is a huge issue with the rise of new media and social media in particular. Some people share too much and other people accidentally share too much. At the end of the day, new media is a user based system and the user should dictate how much personal information is being put out. However, the problem lies in when information is released without the knowledge of the users.
