Privacy & Confidentiality

New Media may have many advantages to it but there's also the disadvantages. A major issue of New Media is privacy and confidentiality. For example, exposure of indecent content without your consent. Social networking sites and blogs allow other users to upload photographs and personal information about anyone without their consent and this can jeopardizes and have a job or even a family. Today, you have kids at the age of 13 using these sites and sometimes this can pose a danger since a user can design their profile to be whatever they want it to say and many of the information they provide can be all lies or truth. Privacy is a big issue because if its not confidential then what control do you have over the doings of other users that involves you.
