For Everybody's Eyes Only

The secret's out. Cat's out of the bag. What's the secret? The secret is...there are no secrets. Or in other other words, online communication, via Facebook and other sites, has caused people to open up their lives. Many people feel more comfortable expressing things on socia media sites than in person. Sometimes, it can just be easier to type than talk. We all know it and do it. Facebook can be seen as a somewhat of a social group with millions of members. And this group feels closer by giving information. Because sharing is caring. Social media as a whole comes from individual's actions, but can produce 
actions that extend beyond the meaning of the individuals. This happens when others make assumptions and know more about a person's private life. Lack of privacy leads to people becoming involved in other's lives and can change a person's perspective of others.This is where the assumptions begin. Privacy is something that is important to some and not so much to others. What people post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and so on shows whether or not a person values a private or public sphere. And that opens up a whole new can of worms.
