Privacy & Confidentiality

           New media has  made privacy and confidentiality an issue nowadays. The internet has been one of the greatest revolutionary ideas to have ever been created ,and one of the key components of new media. It is no surprise that some of the issues with privacy and confidentiality are 'connected' to  social networks. Many disclose information which can be harmful. When it comes to jobs many companies looked at the post of their workers and those who applied for a job on social media; sometimes this results in the person not getting a job.All social networks try to encourage people to be careful with what they post online. Not so long ago Kim Kardashian was rob and its believe that social media played a big role in it. By posting so many pictures and information about where you are at Kim Kardashian among other  people forget the risk they are putting themselves in. There is no such thing as privacy and confidentiality in new media. Once something is placed on the web anyone can find a way to get access to it even if it was 'private'. People need to understand and be careful with what they post online because you can never know the effect it will have.
