Privacy

Privacy is a big issue in social media. When something gets posted online it stays online. Social media companies have methods on keeping your content private but on some cases that is not enough. An example would be Facebook. On Facebook you can change your privacy settings which would enable you to choose who you want to allow to see your pictures and posts. However, there are methods where people can still see your pictures even if you don't allow them to do so. An example would be to search for a person, Alex Chen in the search bar with the word "Photos" following the name (Alex Chen photos). This would show my photos and photos that other people have of me even though I have not given access to them.
