Privacy

We all know that people have been scammed, stalked, robbed, even killed because of new media. New media is like a whole new world. Matter of fact, it is. Privacy and confidentiality is one out of many problems that occur in this world. As we become more and more digitally evolved, the amount of information on the web increases. The amount of information that is on the internet is astronomical. All this information is exposed and no longer is just yours. Once you put something on the internet, it'll never go away. This is why you need to be careful with what you post because you never know if or when it can be used against you. With so much information roaming around on the web, privacy is not really something that exists in the new media world. Every time you create a social media account, you agree to privacy terms & agreements. I know for sure majority of us don't read these things because they are too long. This is how they get you. Once you click agree, you basically have given up your right for privacy. Companies use your information to help their businesses in areas like marketing and products to make. Your data gets shared and passes through many people. This is one issue with privacy and new media. Facebook doesn't keep your information confidential, nor' does instagram, or twitter, or any other new media platform. For this reason, we have to be more aware about what we are agreeing to as well as what we are putting on the internet.
