Private information that was previously segregated now becomes easily accessible to employers, colleagues, recruiters, and clients, among other perhaps unintended audiences” (Abril, 2012, para. 4). Yes, most social media sites attain privacy settings but one must always remember there are hiccups in everything on the internet and no guarantees leaks will not occur.

As Justin Brookman says, “‘Without a framework in place to assure everyday consumers of the ability to limit the collection and retention of the minutiae of their lives by unknown third parties, any sense of a realm of personal privacy may completely evaporate’” (Tapscott 119). There should always be some sense of mystery in the world. Third party sources often find a way of getting information that Internet users did not give them express permission to. The flow of information goes further than most people realize, which is where the dangerous invasion of privacy comes in. A sharing is caring mentality is all good and fun until a third party uses it against you. We should beware the extent to which our information can spread without our

Social media has become a world stage for many people to display and share their accomplishments, failures, and even their shenanigans. No one seems to care anymore if their boss, spouse, or conservative grandmother knows how wild that party they attended over the weekend was, or who their romantic fling was with that week. It’s a sad fact and even though most people do it, posting ones every day move can still affect their job and personal relationships.

In the second article, also by Kristin Lewis, "Are You Being Watched?", it states a disadvantage. Lewis also states "Companies buy information

But to this day privacy is no longer private, social media has options to place posts on private to where no one else can see them but the person who had posted them. But does that stop people? No. People post whatever they don well pleased without any regard to the consequences of their actions, and people ask if they can have a little privacy. Again the answer is no. I would like to say that our society is in the webs of Pandora’s Box, Greek mythology taught us that Pandora’s Box, if open would release all evils upon your humanity. Instead of twisters, earthquakes, and hurricanes we have cyber terrorist bullies and the dreaded

I think that if they know this they are more cautious on what they post and share. Personally I try to post many personal things and when I do post it is about my travel. I like to share the places that I have visited. I guess this can be some way to advertise the places and may make some persons want to go visit. But then there is those persons that do not care and share everything on social media. I think that it is a good thing to maintain some type of privacy. This is also why I talk to my son about social media because the teenagers seem to use it more often. I just want him to make sure not to share everything on his social media

When people share their information online, their privacy could be divulged. According to the article The Negative Effect of Social Media on Society and Individuals, Jung said: “Because intimate details of our lives can be posted so easily, users are prone to bypass the filters they might normally employ when talking about their private lives.”(Jung 1) Sometimes you may not want people know your secrets, but your friends may post your secrets online. Also, the relationship on the social media could make it difficult for people to understand the mean of connection to the real world.

We’ve all been trained to feel the need to let everyone know what we are doing all the time and make sure that we don’t look like we are boring people who don’t have anything to do with our lives. I think to be perfectly honest there has only been a couple times where I have been happy that someone posted something on their Snapchat story, but most of the time I just skip through them all because I hate to seeing the hundreds of stories. Going back to the concept of friends on social media if you think about it for long enough you start to realize that it is also a really weird concept, because I know that there’s plenty of people who I know went to Mexico or the Bahamas for March break because they posted something about it, but if I said hello to them in the hallway they would look at me like I was an alien who just came from another planet. There’s also all the unwritten rules of social media like not liking photos unless it was posted in the last 24 hour range and even after it’s been up for more than 15 hours it’s kind of risky, but if we are all being honest we have all been there when we are 138 weeks deep on someones Instagram praying that we won’t accidentally like

At a very young age, I remember becoming a divination scout, it was probably one of the proudest moments of my life. Unfortunately, this was not the case during the cookie sales- I would flash a bright smile, but would always be met with faces of repugnance.

These breaches in security can leave many people open to identity theft. Cybercriminals can steal private information such as: birthdates, addresses, and Social Security numbers and use this information in so many wrong ways. People are afraid that once their information is compromised they will be vulnerable

Internet expert says, “The educational component would involve explaining to students how putting too much personal information online-personal pictures, travel intentions, party plans, dating details – is a bad idea.” (Cited in Combs 2014). Posting personal information on the internet tells people, which includes strangers too, more about yourself. If you post that you’re going somewhere for a few days, this way someone can intrude into your house. For instance, in Saudi Arabia, there was a robbery in one of the houses in my neighborhood. The people who lived in the house were off on a road trip. Luckily, the robbers were arrested within a few days. When the robbers were asked about the incident, they said that they knew the family was out of the city and the house was empty as one of the family member posted on Facebook that he is going on a road trip with his family. This shows that how posting personal information can cause some serious incidents. Therefore, it’s important not to post personal information online, even if someone does, the companies monitoring the students should tell the students to avoid what is

However, there are some negative effects that come with social media. Research has shown that social networking sites can be very addictive. People who use social networking sites for their daily communication are hooked to a point that they neglect health responsibilities, especially their diet. The addictive nature of social media can lead to eating disorders, obesity, heart problems, sleep disorders, and other pertinent health issues. ("Social Networking: Advantages vs. Addictions.") Another downside to social media is that the user could share too much information which may pose threats to them. (Ali, Imtiaz) People using social media need to know the risks that come with social networking. Users can help protect themselves by not sharing personal information with others they do not know and by having their social networking profiles on a private setting.

However, this does not stop people from sharing anyway. People are all about sharing until it is brought up in person. Then it is deemed inappropriate. What makes revealing personal details from behind the safety of a screen more appropriate than face to face? There are not any palpable consequences. This disregard for repercussions on the internet is overflowing into daily life. According to Stephen Winzenburg, the author of In the Facebook Era, Students Tell You Everything, “It [Facebook] has led young people to publicly announce intimate, personal details without thought of the consequences” (Connelly 387). It has become such a normalized activity, to share personal information, that it has now become normal to exclaim such things in public to stranger without though of consequence. But someone asking of the same personal information is immediately shut down. Talking face to face has become more of a chore than an enjoyable activity. We are less interested in others’ lives and problems than we are in our problems. But we want our friends and family’s lives to revolve around us. We are too self-absorbed to realize that they want the same
