Investigative Exercise 8 - Current Awareness Post



Facebook Privacy & Identity - Exploring your digital self: Mario Rodriguez at TEDxStetsonU

The discussion about Facebook Privacy and Identiy by Mario Rodriguez was a fascinating video and talk to watch/listen to. With the rapid expansion of social media and sites like Facebook, people have taken to putting their whole lives onto these sites for everyone to see, every message/comment/post/photo is available for public display and as soon as it is placed on these sites it is no longer our property. The idea that we are monitored by our electronic footprint is fascinating, especially the early examples that were discussed about people being turned down jobs or being fired from their jobs for things they have posted onto Facebook or other social media sites. What you say and do online is not protected just because you are only sharing it with some of your friends and it is still interesting to see how this problem of digital privacy will evolve and be handled in the future.
