Privacy

When it comes to new media, privacy is a big issue because some people like to keep their information private. A lot of technology now a days require a password but even a password can never stop others such as hackers. A professional hacker is able to bypass passwords so easily to get to your personal information. That is why when people usually create new accounts on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc, they want users to create a “strong” password that should include numbers, capitalization, and others.

Facebook is a social media site where people all over the world can see your profile. Privacy plays a role on this because certain users do not want strangers to look at their profile so they are able to make their accounts private. Once that happens, strangers can’t view anything besides a picture and that’s it. It can even go further than that because some users don’t want to be found on Facebook so they can set their settings to a point where if others look up their names, they won’t be found.

Privacy is something that needs to be respected and I believe everything that people do on the computers should be private.
