Privacy

      Social media involves advertising yourself and what goes on in your life. So your privacy may be limited depending on what you choose to do. You are responsible for whether you choose to share it with the public or just your friends on the account. Sometimes it is difficult to keep things private and confidential on social media accounts. For example, you may not get hired for a job due to conflicting photo or comment you posted on social media. Social media accounts like Snapchat and Facebook can instantly go through your personal information which is a violation of privacy. Even when we use the internet, website owners can see how many times you click on a product or what you had searched and this is an issue of confidentiality. Companies use these tricks to better understand the needs of customers, but this can be contradicting because some customers may dislike this invasion of privacy. Companies should ask for permission when using these marketing tactics. Technology is growing more and more so privacy will become a bigger issue because I'm sure new marketing and advertising tricks will be developed so that a company may flourish and raise its profits. Everyone should be aware that using new media tools can invade privacy and should limit what they put on the internet or their social media account to keep their personal information safe.
