Privacy Issues in Social Media
When social networks were in their infancy, people were slow to jump aboard for fear that their privacy and personal data could be compromised. Gradually, as everyone began to sprout profiles on Facebook, they discovered that there was not much to fear really, as long as you watched what you said and to whom and avoided inappropriate posts and pictures. Nothing very hard about that after all. Then came the “privacy is an illusion” years, when having a bit of relative privacy wasn’t enough — we should also willingly abandon it, because it wasn’t real to begin with. Was this the first sign of what we are seeing now from companies like Google and Facebook?
