Privacy & Confidentiality

With so many new medias out there especially social networking site like Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace, of course privacy will eventually become a huge issue. If you're not careful with your privacy settings, pictures and private information will end up going where you don't want it to. Cases have happen in the past where pictures on someone's Myspace costs them a job when the employer sees it or your family portrait becomes a billboard in Europe promoting some local business. Worse things can happen in the future if they haven't happen yet such as identity theft or even stalkers following you easily because you twitter every 5 minutes. There are though times when these things can be a good thing such as the cases where criminals get caught because they updated their Facebook and the authorities find out and track their location.
