Privacy and
confidentiality are a concern on social media. Yes, it is a good way of
venting, ranting, sharing, and expressing our thoughts and opinions. However,
it is causing a risk of our own security of privacy. According to the article “Facebook
privacy is so confusing even the Zuckerberg family photo isn’t private” it
stated that there is no need to hide something on social media because
everything can be shared and re-shared today. You can delete the photo off your
profile but it doesn’t mean nobody saw it. For instance, Zuckerberg’s photo may
no longer exist on Callie Schweitzer’s Twitter feed, but Buzzfeed still posted
it on its website. Once you decide to share yourself with social media, it will
forever be on social media. everything on social media is public and it is
dangerous to have too much of your information floating around the media.
Great Point. This just reminds me to be extra conscious when posting on social media. Privacy is very important and everyone should take note of this!
ReplyDeleteHi Annie,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that when a person decides to share something online, there will always be a history of it. I also included the article you mentioned above in my paper to discuss how you cannot control what people do with your information after you post them online. I think this is a huge risk to people's privacy if they are not aware of the consequences of their action. Therefore, people should be mindful on what they publish online.
