Privacy

In our age of new media, privacy has almost become non existent. It seems to be very hard to keep personal information to ourselves. We're now aware of hackers and identity theft, its a struggle to put information on social media without others having access to it. When we interact through social media and different networking sites, we may not realize the type of information that we are posting. Easily other users can see everything that we have put up, sometimes us as posters do not see the harm we can do to ourselves by simply sharing too much. On social networks such as Instagram, people who follow and do not follow you can see what you like and post depending on your privacy settings. Take Facebook, people can see nearly every aspect of your life! People put almost everything on Facebook: Check- Ins, Pictures, Videos, Posts and much more. It seems even though these social media outlets have privacy settings, your cyber life is not always that private.

  1. I agree with your post, I feel as if posting too much of everything on social media accounts can have some not so great consequences. I think it may be better to share stuff in moderation.
