Blog: Privacy

Nowadays, privacy and confidentiality are pretty much non-existent in new media. We are all aware that our data can be compromised and sold to third parties. We still use new media knowingly. This is because we have lowered our sensitivity towards keeping our information safe and private. Facebook Privacy is a big oxymoron because the platform is basically a book that illustrates who we are. Of course, it depends on the frequency of your uploads, but any small activity on Facebook can reflect who you are as a person.

  1. Hi Jiahao, I completely agree with you that privacy is practically non existent in today's society. Companies do a great job of collecting data about us and selling our data to other companies for profits behind our backs. You might have noticed on many social media sites that the advertisements are always on items that you searched it. And this is because they are monitoring your moves. Scary!!
