- 7. Privacy Issues in Social Media Social Media is a
current way in which people are using to interact
with one another daily. Since the launch of various
Social Networking Sites (SNS) its been a huge
attraction in a new way to share information with
others and correspond with interests of your choice
in many different forms. Although social media sites
allow users to share information with friends and
other sites on the internet, many people are
unaware of how their privacy is getting out. Now that
the expansion of global connection through these
social media networking sites are so highly present
in todays society, giving us easy access to
information, the lack of one's privacy is being
diminished.
Loss of Privacy
- 8. Sexual Predators
When most people think about sexual risk and harm on
the Internet, sexual predators come to mind. Because of
its sensational nature, the spectre of unscrupulous adults
preying upon and sexually exploiting kids online gets a lot
of media attention. Although this does happen,
sensational headlines do not help us understand the
nature and true extent of the problem or how to deal with
it effectively.
- 9. Cyber Bullying
One of the biggest things that people of online
communities tend to overlook is the fact that words
do hurt. Although these things that are hurtful are
not being said online, saying them online can
amount to just as much hurt and maybe even more.
I have been a witness and a victim to cyberbullying
and have seen the effects that it can have on the
victims and overall online communities that play a
part with it. Cyberbullying is easily seen and more
accessible on social media sites just because of the
social freedoms that the sites allow us to have. I
hope that in the future, social sites can find some
way to automatically delete any type of cyber-
threatening posts; I would love to do all within my
power to try to stop the online bullying that occurs.
In this post I will talk about why cyberbullying should
be stopped, it’s effects on social sites, methods that
could be taken in order to prevent it.
