Privacy & Confidentiality

New media raises privacy and confidentiality concerns for many reasons. For one, the new platform may not have the same privacy terms as others. Users must be aware of how the creators intends to use the data they gather. For profit creators may exploit their users. Another concern is that scammers/criminals now have another avenue to steal information. The new platform may not have the infrastructure in place yet to protect users. Users themselves may also find themselves vulnerable by oversharing on yet another platform.
