PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALLY
Privacy and confidentially is
a major problem
facing new media
of today. With the continuous growth
of internet users
from all over
the World, social networking
sites have to
find new ways
of protecting their
users. Popular social
networking sites such
as , Facebook, Twitter,
Myspace, and Youtube, have
to protect their users against, hackers, Identity thief, stalkers,
and other negative
attacks. Users of
these sites also
have to make
sure that, they don’t
disclose
to much personal
information about themselves. Some users
are unaware of
the harm there
placing themselves in
when they disclose too
much personal information about themselves. I’ve noticed
many times , that
people will put
their telephone numbers ,
address to where
they live, and post inappropriate pictures of
themselves on social
networking sites. I
strongly believe that
these people are
making the wrong decision
, and
their behaviors are
putting them in harm’s way.
There’s been numerous
times where I’ve
heard of news
stories where people
have been harmed
on social networking
sites. These people
usually fall victim
to predators who
pretend to be someone there
not. When your communicating
with someone over
the internet, you always
have to make
sure not to
give out too
much information about
yourself. Some people even
set up fake
websites, where they
claim they can
help you, but
in reality there
only motive is
fraud. Identity thief is also
a growing problem,
because of advancement in
software technologies that
can be used
to steal your
identity.
