Privacy

What is Privacy

"Privacy gives us the power to choose our thoughts and feelings and who we share them with. Privacy protects our information we do not want shared publicly (such as health or personal finances). Privacy helps protect our physical safety". ( Matomo,2014)

Importance of social media privacy in order to enhance digital citizenship

Some social media users prefer to make a social boundary between them and other people in society. Social boundaries are crucial because they prevent social media trawling. People have a variety of life experiences, some of which are beneficial and others could be disastrous. Those who are struggling might prefer to avoid the public while doing so. These people might require quiet areas where they can unwind alone without being bothered by others. Because it gives them the much-needed time alone they need to reflect on their life and meditate, social media privacy as it is crucial. Social media privacy enables people to conduct their affairs privately, free from interference by others. In addition, privacy is crucial since it limits the quantity of information we receive about other individuals.
