Blog: Privacy


New Media is a brilliant place where people can communicate about the topics and have a discussion. Also, it helps to formulate strong connections with other people, but there is one problem that new media is facing: Privacy Issue. Privacy is big issue. Last year Facebook allowed one private company to access their database inappropriately. This was big issue and they were regulated by EU. This should not be repeated, and on the other hand this matters bring up worrisome about new media platforms. Are we safe with new media platforms? In research on the digital devices. new media platforms are also collects our data from our activities. They know which communities we are at, who we like most and even what kind of communication we are having. But what we they can not protect our privacy? or, using or selling our data inappropriately? Confidentiality is the key that new media platforms should have. Even though new media platforms are good places to benefit users, it can not be more efficient with out confidentiality.

  1. I agree without that confidentiality is an important factor of social media. Healthy uses of social media at least require that the users be protected from eyes prying onto their private information. Would love to hear your expansion on how this can be achieved.
