Privacy…Exists?
The World Wide Web has given users an opportunity to explore
a virtual world filled with bountiful information not only concerning products
but also people. Who ever thought someone who lives in Paris would be able to
communicate with another person who lives half way across the country, or even
overseas?
The internet has allowed many to share information in order
to learn more about one another… but how much information is too much? Social
Networks such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have all given users a gateway
into other people’s lives.
Although it may be entertaining there is still the concern
of privacy. Once posted on the internet, that information will be available to
any and every one. Most users do not think
about the repercussions of what they post until it is too late. For instance
Twitter is a place where freedom of speech is highly exercised. Many fail to realize
that even future employees have access to these social networks.
When looking at prospective employees of course they would
not want to hire someone who is recklessly tweeting about Rated R escapades
that they took part in over the weekend. It would poorly reflect on the company
if one day a client did their research and found said employees account.
Nothing can be truly hidden once posted on the internet.
Companies, friends, family and strangers all have access to your personal
information. Simply put, if you would not want someone to see it, then do not
post it. This is the only sure fire way to keep private affairs, private.
