The availability or unavailability of privacy and confidentiality within social networking websites is definitely a recurring issue. To be honest, I see it as an ironic problem. The better our technology is, the more innovative social networking can potentially be. The more innovative social networking is, the more accessible information can be. It's definitely a problem as new problems come up with the availability of user information. It causes catfishing, cyber bullying, and also cyber stalking. Just to give you an example of what's exposed, you can potentially find one's name, address, phone number, interests, family, and also friends. This can be found on Facebook alone! So for those that do use these social networking websites, be wary of who can see your information. Due to a lot of press on privacy issues, a majority of platforms now allow users to control who can see their information and who cannot.
