Privacy and Confidentiality

14 Apr

Privacy and confidentiality are very much related to new media. More often than not, people will loose their privacy because of new media. Websites like, facebook, twitter etc aide in the process of having no privacy anymore. While signing up for these new media websites individuals need to realize that they are actually giving up their privacy. Over the years it has increasingly become more of a problem, there are confidentiality laws within these sites, but they are not enough. There are so many ways where outside sources can gain access to your information through these new media sites. While all these sites are fun and interesting, it is important to be safe, know the privacy rules and realize what you are getting yourself into.

    Completely agree. I don’t think that the users of these social media sites are fully aware that we, the user, have control over what we publish on these sites. The lack of privacy one may feel can simply be put to it’s demise by not clicking ‘send’.
