Issues of privacy and confidentiality are related to new media used in an article from CACM, "information Privacy: Changing Norms and Expectations" by Daniel Reed, it goes into detail how incredible the internet has grown to the length that we have no more privacy or confidentiality anymore. Every time we share our pictures of ourselves or family, we are throwing our privacy out the window. We expect things to go a certain way just because in the social media setting we set it says it will. But in reality there are so much small text to read into, and those boundaries between friends, family, and coworker’s lines can blend when relaxing together, with it leaking into conversations or shown that were supposed to be confidential at work or other outings to others. Such as at a party where an explicit photo taken and is shown that could ruin or make others look towards you differently. A better example would be Anthony Weiner with him sexting several times and in a case a teenage girls father reported him to the police as he found pornographic photos of Anthony on her phone.
