Your private life is something we all hold to be special; and protect it as much as we can.  But, with the advent of social media in its present form, that is more and more difficult to control.  Social media is presently delivered in a very public way.  Anything you say or do on the major megacorporations is considered fair game to extract as much about you as they possibly can.  There is no guarantee that any socal mdeia platform will protect your data from hacking, governmental demands or any other breach of your personal privacy.  

 

As digital monitoring and AI systems infiltrate everything you do on the Internet, political systems try to impinge more and more onto your rights and privileges, that problem will become more and more difficult to navigate.  Now, don't get me wrong, there are definate advantages for many people who are seeking their 15 minutes of fame to use social media to promote their ideas, convictions, products and opinions to as wide an audience as they can.  But by using these platforms, there is minimal control of how your posts are delivered, if they even are, to the public at large.  Youmust work by their rules, provide the informatin they demand and stay strictly under their format and intellectual control.

 

While present social media is so public, many people have been put off partciapting using these platforms simply because they are not willing to broadcast their personal moments, private and special, to the world with no contriol or say who sees it.  They would much prefer to spread their personal moments to a much smaller and exclusive group of people who are under their direct control.  Family groups, special friends and other circles of special people want to control what they display and control how long that data is available.  Wghen on the mega-socials they mniust give up control of everythting they place there.

 

The internet is forever, at least as far as social media seems to be concerned.  There is no control of your posts, if they are deleted there is no real positive way to know it has actuially been deleted.  There are countless horror stories of people being persecuted for posts they made years ago that are no longer what the presently beleive.  There is no forgiveness, no allowance to change a mind or rethink a position without having to defend whatever may have been said previously.  It really is a wonder so many people are as free with their opinions and beliefs.
