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.
I have contributing in the wiki for the class in two categories so far: Third person shooter gaming and Accounting in social media. I have added pictures and content on both subjects. For the gaming section, I talked about Fortnite and its popularity. Fortnite grew to become one of the most popular games in the world due to its unique design but was eventually copied by competitors. Also, I discussed the importance of utilizing social media in the accounting profession. Accountant should use social media to expand their reach and their client base. I plan to contribute to two more sections and make edits where it is necessary. The wiki is a great place to share ideas and communicate and I plan to continue to contribute to it.
