When users decide to use the free services
provided by the New Media, such as Facebook, Instagram, etc., it is also a
process which users agree to sell their privacy for the free service. Generally,
users are not familiar with online privacy policy. New Media, social networking
sites, often ask for users for personal information/data, which is called
privacy. When they say they keep all users’ data confidential, it
might not always be true. One thing for sure is that they will use users’ data
for their future development to see what users’ need/want. For example, google’s
mail, gmail, had been reported that, when browsing their email, ads will show
on right side; they show ads with thing you often searched for. Many users
reported that they felt their privacy's been exposed because of that. After all, when users
use real information online, they should know it will never be confidential,
and has no privacy projection at all.
Pointed out a great point. The TOS of a social media program is really something that needs to be looked into before people go on these rants of not having privacy.
