Privacy and Confidentiality

Privacy and confidentiality is a big issue when it comes to new media. If done right, there shouldn't be any issues. But because of how easy it is to share your information and accessible for almost anyone to see, it could pose as a potential threat for things such as identity theft and cyber-bullying. New media such as facebook, twitter, and linkedin all have privacy settings that you should familiarize yourself with. You also want to make sure that anything you post or say will probably be seen by hundreds of thousands of people. So play it safe, do not write anything that could get you in trouble or that you know could put you in harms way.
