Privacy and confidentiality

Privacy and confidentiality are major issues of new media. When it comes to social networking sites, privacy and confidentiality have always been fundamental issue. Facebook is one of the targeted social networks with privacy and confidentiality concerns. People usually post unnecessary information on these sites which can be used against them. New media helps us to be advanced in some ways but we are not aware of the risks that we are putting ourselves into. I think the best way to protect ourselves on social networks is to put as little personal information as possible. Also social networking sites provide security settings, so make sure to use those settings to protect the information you post online. I think we always have to make sure that we do not put anything on internet that we would not want others to know it because anyone can access through Google or other search engines. Be careful when it comes to publishing personal and private information on social networking sites.
