Nowadays, many problems involve with Privacy and Confidentiality. Privacy deals with personal information and confidentiality deals with authorized information from clients or companies. Privacy on the Internet are being violated more and more due to better technology or programs. Confidentiality is getting easier to know as well due to many social networking sites that share company employees or employers.
From Internet, for example on Facebook, there are people that do not know the privacy customization in there. Their information can be seen by everyone. Since we are using world wide Internet, we don't know who will be accessing out sites. It is true that most social networking sites are improving our communication and better contacts. It is easier for us to leave messages in their site or inbox. However, there are still risks to take. If the customization of privacy is not done well, there could be people that steals your information and use it again you. If there are company sites and there are possible people that can access it, in those cases, those so-called hacker can misuse those information and sell it to another company for money or other illegal uses. Possible that an employee's image can be framed and get him/her fired as well. You never know what is next.
It is true that Internet provide us massive information. It has brought great amount of benefits to our society. It is easy and convenient to use. Communication is so much easier. though, we should still be on guard for our privacy. No one wants their privacy to be violated. As for workers, clients, customer, companies, and etc...no one want to be framed and lose their job for some misleading information.
As development of technology, there are more chance for people to loss their privacy. As the example that you ave out for social networking sites. The information that post by users can be view by their employers, companies or other strangers. Loss on privacy has became big issue nowadays. I agree with you that people should think before they post their information, photos and videos because it is open to the public and once you posted, you are loss of control of it. However, some people believe the benefit that they gain on social networking is outweigh the cost of loss their privacy.
