LEARNING OUTCOME 4.3 Discuss the concept of privacy and its application by young people on social networks.
CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Lawyers Louis Brandeis and Samuel D. Warren classed the right to privacy as the right to “being left alone”. On the internet privacy can mean that we have the right not to have our information stolen or sold. Stalking, hacking and cyberbullying is in violation of this right. This right also extends to cover your reputation. Any defamation of your name or character violates your right to privacy. The internet makes it more difficult to protect our privacy. As we use social media, we voluntarily share personal information about ourselves with social media companies. To try to protect our privacy online we must look at our privacy settings to determine who gets to view and share this information.
