Privacy has and will be a long standing issue with new media such as facebook and twitter. disgruntled users of these sites have nothing better to do and hack the system to make your life a living hell. it becomes even easier when facebook keeps defaulting certain settings as public. if you dont remember to make certain things private, then everyone can see everything, which can lead to some pretty serious consequences.
another pretty scary issue is that our names and pictures on facebook are linked to search engines like google. all you have to do is type in your name on google and your facebook will pop up. hackers can figure out ways to extract other information pertaining to you. this also happens when users download applications on facebook. this could lead to an error page, and this is where hackers get into your account to take personal information.
I believe privacy will be an issue now and forever because no matter what we do to kep our files and information hidden, somebody will come up with a ay to hack in and steal it. The only solution that I can come up with is, do ot put your information online that you want to keep private.
