Why?
It’s all about
Connecting with
Friends.
But at what Price?
“But the uncertainty can sometimes be the most exciting part, and if said person-of-affection somehow manages to pass a thorough stalking, you can probably forget any of that pre-date
giddiness. Goodbye butterflies and excitement, I already know everything about you.”
-- Allison McCann, How Facebook Ruined Dating No More First Date Anticipation

“We live in a technological universe in which we are always
communicating. And yet we have sacrificed conversation for mere connection.”
--Sherry Turkle, The Flight From Conversation

giving up some of their
privacy online
can provide benefits to them.”--Jeffery I. Cole, Director, USC Annenberg Center for the Digital Future

“When that harassment occurs online, the victims
tend to be in the mainstream social groups – and they are often friends or former friends,
not strangers.” --From bullying to relationships: Mapping our online communications, e!Science News

Over half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyber bullying.
Over 25 percent of adolescents and teens have been bullied repeatedly through their cell phones or the Internet.

Surly, we can demand the social media sites to change their privacy policies.
Or the government should implement cyber-bullying laws to punish the cyber bullies.

But there is always something that
we, as individuals can do.
Let me ask you the question again—
Can we afford the price of social sharing?
It is time to protect our online privacy.
