This article covers a topic that is a big issue in today's society. It talks about privacy on social media. I think social media is a great thing. It allows you to connect and stay in touch with whoever you want no matter how far away. You are able to tell the world what's on your mind, what you doing and post pictures that allow your personality to shine through. However, these posts are usually open for anyone to view and may be used against you in the future if they are "inappropriate". I believe it is an invasion of privacy. Now-a-days many of the people on social media sites such as Twitter and Instagram grew up using social media from a young age. If you are to glance through their profile it is very likely that you will find posts from middle school years. At that time people did not know what you post could be used against you, therefore they made silly mistakes. However, these mistakes can be deleted but never permanently erased. Although I think there is a line to what you put online, I also believe that you should be allowed to express yourself in what ever way you choose.
Katelyn, thank you for your response. I agree with you. I think that social media sites are mediums of personal expression, and one should be allowed to post whatever they want. However, I still think there must be limitations. Since everyone recognizes that social media sites are mostly public, they must be cautious in posting EVERYTHING about themselves. I do, however, think it is unfair because there are settings of privacy on social media sites, but they are still trackable.
