Social Networking: A Purposeful Loss of Privacy

 More common than ever are social networking sites. We all use it to establish contact with old and new mates. It helps us to be aware at the same time of what our friends are up to, without calling each one. Everyone is aware of what websites such as Facebook do but how it can impact potential employees of big corporations is NOT known to anyone. Many large corporations now search their Facebook pages for inappropriate images or posts of entry-level employees. Companies fear that their lives in their personal lives can prevent their workplace success. Not only do workers lose their anonymity, but even those who do not use their privacy settings are lost. Believe it or not, many users post entire birthdays, addresses, and phone numbers, raising the possibility of identity fraud.

    I’m really intrigued by your topic for your paper! I know I personally love to over share on social media at times but have always strived to keep my online history work - appropriate. It would be interesting to learn about the repercussions that social networks have on people who share something against their company “image” and the implications on wether or not what you say online should impact your job even if you’re a good employee. There is definitely a blending of the lines between work and personal life due to social networking

    Rehab, you have chosen a very interesting topic for your paper. I have chosen a similar topic regarding the Social Media privacy and the use of AI and Machine learning in invading this privacy. Yes all major companies are searching employees private social media accounts and dig out anything that they can use against their employees and now with the use of machine learning and AI, they can do that in the matter of minutes for an entire company. I have no doubts that in the near future this very comment on this blog will land on my future employers desk as part of the profit my entire social media activity package.

 The ability to watch 4k films at home would be a new media form. This helps you to feel the movie movement. The film can also be seen from the headset of virtual reality, in order to experience the film as a whole. I think that will eventually be created because it already exists in movie theaters in the future. With the COVID-19 pandemic, many technologies have now been made sufficiently advanced to make life easier at home.

P2P

 Sharing files may be shared from one device over another through the network or the Internet via interactive devices like apps and movies etc. The process of file sharing is not illegal but the shared information could be illegal. File sharing offers people the ability or lapse to exchange copyrights and make money out of the sharing of certain resources unlawfully. A file-sharing peer-to-peer (P2P) is a network that links computer devices over the Internet. These computer systems can share some form of a file. The peer-to‐peer exchange of data is like linking several machines to a router and sharing information between them. Sadly, P2P also provides for the unauthorized exchange of copyrighted content and provides a black market for the sale of other materials like downloading files. Examples of P2P file-sharing services include BearShare, LimeWire, KaZaa, eMule, Vuze, uTorrent, and BitTorrent. If the program for file sharing in P2P is not correctly installed, it is possible to a...

Wiki So Far

I've contributed to the Cybersecurity & Networking and Hacktivism Page to add to our class wiki. While both are a good wiki, it was a little old, which lacked a lot of knowledge today. I have not only modified details but added new information like OSI Models vs TCP/IP. I also corrected grammatical errors and deleted details I no longer found relevant. I aim to keep the Wiki as up-to-date as possible when including this material. I have updated the Privacy Page where I added Home Depot Breach info. I'm concentrating mostly on technological topics since this is a topic I enjoy. I also included up to date knowledge and images on the most common subjects of technology and cybersecurity. As I build on information on other technology pages, I can also add more information and links to these pages. I will be adding more information on the "IoT" page which is a popular technology topic .
