Privacy and social media are in a paradoxical relationship.

I do not think the issue of privacy is seen in right perspective by most people. "I've nothing to hide" seems to be a common response. I myself start to think the same thing sometimes... 'I am honest citizen with no suspicious connections.' 'Maybe we would catch a sabatoging needle undermining goals and principles from within a haystack'.

But one has to step back for a second to reflect....men have to see themselves as and be free agents within nature to do as they want, to be honest men or criminals, or nature itself is redefined and lost to us. We cannot pretend to accept the construction of a capacity able to draw an enduring, though random appearing, attention to the individual that is able to focus as it chooses. ...."people who wear white socks", "the girl with pigtails", "his family voted for, reads so and so news ????"...etc.

At issue is the implementation of a pathological slant in the way people spend their time; a society of people who pry and those who are pryed upon, with a vague dividing boundary .....how people spend their time is what totally constructs history, leads from yesterday to tomorrow. If one dwells day and night on negative aspects and fears, or unattainable goals or fantasises excessively, the character of his perspective and hence life will change accordingly. History is a social construct that is built of man made artifact, in this sense man has some say over his social evolution: but it is alway must submit to the constraints of real nature to which invasion of evolved boundaries by external agents is poison. ..we would be living under a glass sky that cannot be maintained from any stand point, the social, economic or scientific.

From an even more familiar perspective, what does it mean that "I know who you called, when and where, where from, on any use of the telephone or computer, lifelong, for anyone anywhere." The criminal would most likely be multiplying and not receeding in numbers...he'd be in both places, snooper and snooped upon. Think of the world of Orwells 1984 where the familiarity of men/women to one another breeds more contempt in the eyes of a common 'big brother' than neighbor to neighbor. How is this prophacy ignored if not referred to within the same dialogues partaking with globalization plans bordering on or equaling big brothers' ideals, there is no discourse or exit action from the maize of problems that are incited.

Maybe some people find personal replete, enhanced security, as the owners of their own fate rather than free nature, control of their own destinies in a sea of existence that is not well lighted. Possibly I guess bad past behavior and fear of punishment might be a motivating factor. There are a million tales, but the lessons must be alive both within and outside the boxes that we construct within a growing in rational complexity, daily living.

Einstein insisted that nature was not deliberately maleoviolent...from very sound logical principle this can be asserted with confidence, though beyond time spent with bad behavior, nature cannot tolerate off centered tampering behavior that ensues from rational logic.

There was an article in yahoo news this morning that quoted the NSA as saying that they assmbled the survellience network they are using in about 2006 but discovered they did not understand how it worked in 2009. Do you think they can use it as they have been doing without completely dismantling it? Dismantling it may mean abandoning more than they are willing to. I think the correspondingscience fiction story is already written.

I dont know what is meant in the assertion by ethnographists that American culture is 'weird'; lunatical psychologies and behavior, mostly embodied to the business sector, are ignored in psychiatric evaluations, the cultural functions embody sameness place to place.

This morning the press reported on comments made to the New York Times by Putin 'no nation should consider itself to be the 'exceptional' example....words taken from Obama who I had begun to admire for his gestures of respect in bowing low to emperiors and leaders. Referencing Putins comment on 'exceptionality' it was reported that one prominent member of congress indicated he "wanted to vomit".

In the same breath Putin's statemate that US military action against Syria would destabilize the region significantly was qualified as if subsequent terrorism action would be a direct reprisal seeming to refer to Assad and Putin. Congress, that had been claiming abuse of power by Obama, looking placated that he had turned to congress for approval, and now with the responsibility of a vote on the issue delayed, seems to have taken an about face cursing of those greedy power hungary foreigners that need America as an example.

Aside from all that lunacy, how can one pretend to be on a humanitary mission with bombs intended to destroy both personnel and property...many Serians were reported to be scared out of their wits at the prospect, preparing to vacate their homes , are at least half comfortable with Assad and prey to left alone to resovle their own difficulties...a similar senerio occured with the no fly zone over Libya where NATO fighters inadvertantly bombed hospitals and innocent civilians alike. From the comfort of our homes in America this looks like the folly it is, but one can hardly reconcile the personal trageties involved, though it does not border on the ability to perceive the vast and infinite, it is within imagaries and comprehension of anyone who learns of it. Wouldnt bombing tanks of poisonous gas release it to the atmosphere.

This whole scene of events might not find difficult fitting into Alice in Wonderland stories or Gulliver Travels...cartoons for children of mineature worlds hidden in cow pasteurs. The act of speaking almost seems to communicate a futility "we cant help ourselves"....

I think best course of action:

'make the best example, dont play, tamper with or step on the shit, you dont know whats in it; the world doesnt want or expect you to guard everyone everywhere, to know everything, and can deal with the manure itself place to place where it occurs, each one must confine himself in his own place'. Even manure has natural rights of sovereignty regarding intention and reasoning in the course of planned action, a natural place in balances and ecologies.

Do you think invasion of privacy is the seed empowering the growth of power to the lesser and small as it depletes it from what is more noble.

This is my opinion:

Unfortunately, this is a very complex issue. Privacy is at risk in terms of information posted on social media portals.

The problems of the analysis of information contained on social media portals for marketing purposes are described in the publication:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322241537_THE_QUESTION_OF_THE_SECURITY_OF_FACILITATING_COLLECTING_AND_PROCESSING_INFORMATION_IN_DATA_BASES_OF_SOCIAL_NETWORKING

I invite you to discussion and cooperation. Greetings

There are several threats when publish our profile online on any social media platform as they are collecting our information for analyzing our behaviors then sending brochures and ads.

We are able to prevent this problem by some kinds of actions such as delete all the cookies after browsing.

From my personal perspective, the owners of any social media platform should be clear and followed their rules. If any personal information is leaked, they will be punished.

I believe that each person is responsible for the information he/she is posting online. As soon as you post something, you should understand that your private life is not fully private anymore.

Of course, when it comes to some messengers or personal texts in social media, if someone leaks private information without mutual agreement, this person should be punished as it violates person's privacy.

This problem is really complex and controversial. You can look at the situation from different perspectives and have absolutely different opinions.

Privacy and social media are oxymoron.

Using social media by organizations has become not only a privilege but a necessity. Thanks to them we have direct contact with our audience. Nowadays they can see what we are doing, how we work on a daily basis. They can even comment or show their approval (or dislike) of our actions. New types of communication bring many new responsibilities for organizations. How we can assure the safety in social media?

Unfortunately, social media can be very dangerous. Especially in terms of privacy and safety on the data. Both our and our audiences. That is why it is worth to spend a couple of minutes from time to time, to be sure if our information isn’t used in a malicious way. USAID has created a list of rules that are worth to use when we are in charge of the social media profile. Thanks to them you and your data will be more secure.

I think the video has a powerful concept which we all know but only few can actually understand the power of social media. Lots of people think that posting private data on FB, Instagram or any other social media that "protects" your information from people other than friends is safe. It is not because information left online will be always online and unfortunately our profiles can be hacked or just spied by a person who adds you to friends. Nowadays profiles became more secure but this security still does not promise 100% protection. We all think that our posts online do not uncover all private information we want to cover but sometimes we uncover it unconsciously. More private information can be kept in our messages with friends which can be seen by a hacker if he/she wants to.

It is impossible to cover all information about an individual, in case you are not an employee of FBI or whatever but we can still be thoughtful about our posts to not to give out any information we do not find shareable.

People should really take some minutes to actually read all the terms and conditions about data privacy on anything that they're about to sign up or register to.

Especially regarding your financial data, any party that violates their term should be punished.

And about your information on social media, never post anything regarding your personal identity even you have set it privately. You never know who you are messing with. So just keep it for yourself

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG,

Most users of social media portals are convinced of the high security of information posted on their profiles set up on these portals. However, also the majority of users of social media portals are not aware of the lack of full privacy of data posted on these portals. Internet technology companies offering information and marketing services on the Internet in the form of social media portals provide users with a high level of security, i.e. very low likelihood of hackers breaking specific cybersecurity access to individual user profiles. However, on the other hand, many research and marketing companies using specialized software read and copy the entire content of entries, comments, posts, etc. from thousands, millions of profiles of users of social media portals without their knowledge. Below I explain why this is happening. In my opinion, the most marketing innovations have been created in recent years in the field of online viral marketing conducted on social media portals. Internet viral marketing is growing particularly rapidly on social media portals as one of the types of internet marketing. Effective, innovatively organized internet marketing campaigns through the use of viral marketing instruments conducted on social media portals are based on engaging users of these portals who provide posts, comments, advertising news and movie clips through the function Share for your friends on the social media portal. Effective advertising campaigns carried out with innovative viral marketing do not have to be high budget. In this way, they are also available for small businesses, for innovative startups who are able to come up with new marketing innovations on the Internet. Open innovations developed on the Internet concern, among others, Internet marketing innovations. The issue of the possibility of publishing specific content, texts, banners, comments, etc. on the Internet and obtaining free information are key determinants of the development of information services on the Internet and are a key factor in online viral marketing. On the other hand, the largest internet technology corporations earn income mainly from paid marketing services. Therefore, the Internet environment is a kind of mix of free and paid information and marketing services, which are simultaneously, simultaneously and simultaneously interrelatedly developed by various Internet companies. Currently, research is conducted into the analysis of the development of open innovations in the field of information and marketing services, which are the main factor of business success of the largest online technology companies, which include such concerns as Google and social media portals such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Tweeter, LinkedIn and other. Real-Time marketing has been a dynamically developing form of online viral marketing in recent years. On the other hand, advanced data processing technologies typical of the current technological revolution Industry 4.0 are increasingly used in marketing activities. The current technological revolution referred to as Industry 4.0 is determined by the development of the following advanced information processing technologies: Big Data database technologies, cloud computing, machine learning, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, Business Intelligence, Virtual and Augmented Reality, and other advanced technologies of Data Mining. There are many examples of online advertising campaigns that also confirm that some new online viral marketing instruments used in new online media, including social media, can ensure the implementation of the most effective advertising campaigns. advertising campaigns are preceded by previously conducted market research, identification of the target segment of consumers, analysis of the state of competition, etc. During this type of research, data collection and analysis, ICT, internet and advanced data processing technologies are used more and more typical of the current technological revolution Industry 4.0 . In the field of analytics used for these purposes, Big Data database systems and Business Intelligence analytical platforms, Data Analytics, Data Science etc. are used. The key issue is the possibility of combining artificial intelligence technologies, the Internet of Things, analytics carried out on Big Data, Business Intelligence, Data Analytics platforms , Data Science, etc. for the purposes of improving the effectiveness of online advertising campaigns that use viral marketing innovations, including, but not limited to, posts, banners, and advertising films developed in the Real-Time marketing formula and posted on social media sites. Many data, publications and analysis results show that some new internet marketing instruments used in new online media, including social media portals, can ensure the implementation of the most effective advertising campaigns. advertising campaigns are preceded by previously conducted market research, identification of the target segment of consumers, analysis of the state of competition, etc. During this type of research, data collection and analysis, ICT, internet and advanced data processing technologies are used more and more typical of the current technological revolution Industry 4.0 . In the scope of analytics used for these purposes, Big Data database systems and Business Intelligence, Data Analytics, Data Science etc. analytical platforms are used. The development of information processing technology in the era of the current technological revolution called Industry 4.0 is determined by the use of new information techniques in the field of e-commerce and e-marketing. The current technological revolution referred to as Industry 4.0 is motivated by the development of the following factors: Big Data database technologies, cloud computing, machine learning, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Business Intelligence, Virtual and Augmented Reality and other advanced technologies of Data Mining. Based on the development of these new technological solutions, the processes of innovatively organized analyzes of large information collections gathered in Big Data database systems and information processing in the cloud computing have been dynamically developing in recent years, for applications in such areas as machine learning, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence , Business Intelligence. To this can be added other areas of advanced technologies for analyzing large data sets, such as Medical Intelligence, Life Science, Green Energy, etc. Processing and multi-criteria analysis of large data sets in Big Data database systems is carried out according to the V4 concept, i.e. Volume (meaning large number of data), Value (large values of specific parameters of the information analyzed), Velocity (high speed of new information appearing) and Variety (high information diversity). The above-mentioned advanced technologies for processing and analyzing information are increasingly used for the needs of marketing activities of various business entities that advertise their offer on the Internet or analyze the needs in this regard reported by other entities, including companies, corporations, financial and public institutions. More and more commercially operating business entities and financial institutions conduct marketing activities on the Internet, including on social media portals. More and more companies, banks and other entities need to carry out multi-criteria analyzes on large datasets downloaded from the Internet describing the markets in which they operate and contractors and clients with whom they cooperate. On the other hand, there are already specialized technology companies that offer this type of analytical services, prepare commissioned reports, which are the result of such multi-criteria analyzes of large data sets obtained from various websites and from entries and comments contained on social media portals.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

Please reply.

I conduct research in this area. The conclusions of the research I published in scientific publications that are available on the Research Gate portal.

I invite you to discussion and scientific cooperation.

Thank you very much.

Best wishes.

Privacy and social media are in a paradoxical relationship.

I think that social media is a great tool to stay connected. having someones or preferences has become a very profitable business where data is bought and sold at a very high prices to win elections for example, and social media influence has become a large deal of social media where personal data is being unfairly used.

Social Media should not be a part of basic life style. It is just a tool for casual conversation and non-personal information. One should not confuse social media as a comfort zone activity.

Thuan Nguyen If I’m honest, I don’t precisely know how or what information different social media portals are collecting about me and what they do with all that information. Even if I have tried to read all the terms and conditions about data privacy, I really don’t know. Can anyone really know it? OK, the all the terms and conditions about data privacy are often very long and it might take couple of minutes to read them, but like you said it would be very important to read those carefully and even try to clarify what you share to others (meaning the whole world).

Mervi Koikkalainen I really agree with you. At first I might be too blue-eyed. I Googled information about myself and because I didn't find any uncorrect information I just was "okey that's good". But when I read your comment and I started to think a little more. That's true that it may be impossible even see all off the information what different social media portals are collecting about us! And what they do with all that information, can we ever know? In my opinion it is hard to understand everything about terms and conditions about data privacy.

You are absolutely right! I am quite sure that nobody know exactly what information portals is collecting about you. And I think that is quite scary. Now when I thinking about this more, I realize that I have been actually careless about reading all the terms and conditions. Too often I just click ''accept'' without reading those terms.
