Privacy & Confidentiality
A large problem with many of these new media sites and platforms that we use is that we do not proofread the consent form prior to agreeing in terms of use. That is why when we sign up and begin to use Facebook, a lot of the information we share are accessible to other companies. Our privacy is also forfeited to Facebook and mutual friends may see things you are tagged in, even if you are not their friend.
Confidentiality is also able to be breached if there are not enough protection by the company. For example, new form of data storage is cloud computing. If cloud computing is hacked many people's information can be corrupted or stolen. This is very risky if people use and trust in a company with large database that is not properly protected. Therefore, companies who have many clients or customers must have very tight security to has multiple controls over the information they handle.
