Privacy

Privacy is extremely important when it comes to New Media. New Media includes a very popular feature of society, Social Media. Social Media has gained so much popularity in the last decade that almost everyone living in modern society has some sought of social media account. This means Facebook, Myspace, Reddit, Youtube etc. However with the rise of social media, there needs to be proper regulation regarding privacy. Social Media websites have gotten free reign over all of over data and is constantly data mining our personal information for better ads. There have been ever videos showing Facebook using our phones to secretly listen to our conversations and creating ads specifcally for us. That's a huge breach of privacy and there needs to be regulations to maintain the boundaries of what social media websites can and cannot do. Many people would argue that if you are not doing anything bad it shouldnt matter but i personally think its a huge flawed point.
