Privacy

New media has changed the lives of almost anyone who uses it, but many issues arise regarding privacy and confidentiality. These issues range from loss of privacy on social networking sites to loss of confidentiality due to illegal downloading and sharing content. Anything that you put online can be easily found and information shared online can't be taken back. When on the web, many social networking sites guarantee privacy, but they can only do so much. For instance, Facebook announced earlier last year that there was a security breach that caused private user data to be leaked. This affected thousands of users and just goes to show us how the internet has become way too expansive. With new media, it has made it even harder to ensure privacy and confidentiality.
