Blog: Privacy

Although we would all really enjoy it if new media was evident in every part of our lives, we also have to realize that with this comes many privacy issues. There have been many incidents where a person was threatened and in danger because someone else got access to their information that was posted online. There's a growing concern about how to keep personal information private and not visible to everyone. It's so easy for social networking sites to pick up on users locations and often times users aren't even aware of this. Furthermore, large companies are constantly taking information in order to help them get an idea of what to create. This is really detrimental to society because people don't feel safe anymore. There needs to be regulations put into place in order to protect ones privacy.
