Privacy

The issues of privacy and confidentiality are very related to new media because of all the threats that occur online. Now that new media has become more and more popular, the privacy threats towards users are also growing. For example Facebook is going through a very difficult time because they were exposed of sharing millions of user data without their permission. A lot of users who use new media don't understand how much data they are really giving up when they go on new media such as social media platforms. Many social media platforms have and gain a lot of information on their users such as location, birthdays, and more. The more new media grows the less privacy users will really have on it.
