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.

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...

       New media has helped make more of today's life smoother. They have helped many to make a living and have made it easier to access this knowledge and much more. However, anonymity and secrecy issues are raised in digital media. Many that use digital technology in terms of anonymity and secrecy, like the dark web, pet fishing, infringements on records, and much more are interested in several topics.      The dark web is a challenge for many new media consumers. The Dark Web, which uses unique software, is used by unauthorized people. It is also difficult to track anyone from the dark web, making it a frightening location in digital media. The explanation that the Dark Web is worried is that hackers can upload your card information, publish your address, or even host trafficking in persons. It is still difficult today to find steps to regulate the dark web.      Data abuses are another example of digital media interference in privacy...
