Privacy

Privacy and confidentiality is one of the biggest concerns with new media. Many people have personal information put onto the internet whether its through social networking sites or when making a purchase through e-commerce. Many people also put pictures of themselves onto the web. For example on facebook almost everyone has a profile picture to go with there home page. Also when people make purchases online its usually through payment of credit card. The concern with this is, when using your credit card online, you have to be aware of credible site and not so credible sites. Identity theft exists and I'm sure it occurs within new media as well.
