Privacy and Confidentiality

Privacy and confidentiality has and will always continue to be one major concern when it comes to new media technology. As the name suggest, it's all about interaction and feed-backs. Nothing stays secret on new media; if you don't want the world to know about it, then stay off it. As I've mentioned severally and folks using new media technology especially social media shouldn't be surprised that corporations nowadays and even government parastatals can actually monitor and track what people do on social media. Also videos, pictures etc. posted by individuals are almost accessible by anyone; although, you can actually restrict who can do what based on your preferences but then.. people who posts stupid things shouldn't expect any privacy and confidentiality because they gave room for that; in other words, as they present themselves, so they shall be treated. Lastly,as the world is going through radicalism, some people would agree it's a good idea for government if necessary to track people subconsciously on social media while others would reject completely. So privacy and confidentiality would always remain a hot debate around new media. Currently, I don't think anyone's privacy/confidentiality is guaranteed. Let me quickly share a story... I was at my barber's place over the weekend and I heard a customer said to my barber that FBI came to his house to investigate him about a particular comment or comments he made on Facebook; although, he didn't tell us the content....and what does that suppose to mean?
