Privacy and confidentiality became a major issue in the new
age of media. Social media is growing every day and has become the largest
media platform. Most social media accounts allow you to use their platform in exchange
for your data. This has led to many political and economic issues. Facebook and
Twitter were fined numerous times for data breaches and advertising issues. Also,
these two companies were a major source of leaks in politics specifically,
presidential elections. Many users have been hacked or had their public profile
information used against them. Additionally, many users had credit cards and other
payment information on file which has caused fraud and identity theft. As a
result, many companies and users have made privacy a matter of urgency. Users
are now more aware of the information they share, and companies have added many
more layers of security as well as options the user can use to hide their data.
Privacy and confidentiality are a growing concern with the progression of
social media and other technologies.
An interesting idea of new media is to create a social network specifically for gamers. The new media platform would have chats for gamers to connect, pages to post pictures or videos of their game content, and a comment and like section to respond to each post. There can even be a facetime-like feature on the social network so gamers can connect and play games together. One interesting feature that the social network can include are stories such as the ones on Snapchat and Instagram. This will create a new media for gamers that contains a good mix of features from Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook. The gaming industry is growing more and more every year, especially professionally gaming. Gamers communicate a lot through their headset, but it would be great if there can be a platform to connect gamers when they are not actually playing video games. Gaming is an expansive industry in need of a new media to make communication easier and better.
