Privacy & Confidentiality

Due to the emergence of new media, privacy and confidentiality are two topics that have changed dynamically especially because of the heavy usage of internet today. Social media is a tool that has emerged due to the introduction of Web 2.0. Because of social media and the mass number of users, there is a huge aggregated set of data available today. Users now have to be very careful of the information that they display online today because once it is available on the Internet, is impossible or very difficult to remove.

Users now have the option to either privatize their account, or set it to public so other users have easy access to their content. Because of the growing concern of a loss in privacy in the new age due to social media and the Internet, it is important to take advantage of these resources and options that social medias now have. Utilizing these privacy settings help users take control of who can view their content and lead to a less concerning loss in privacy in this new digital age.
