Privacy & Confidentiality

In today's society of new media one of the biggest issues is privacy and confidentiality. An example of this is social networking sites like Myspace and Facebook. On sites like Facebook and Myspace most of the people that use these put up information that is not necessary to be on the social networking site. The information that most people put up are phone numbers, addresses, birth dates and other important information too. With that important info on the site which could viewed they leave themselves vulnerable to identity theft or something else. On the social networking sites they give the option to choose who can see and can not view their profile information. The community must use caution on what information they put and who can view it because you never know what someone will do with that information.
