Is Private really Private

My research topic is on the new media - social media. I will be discussing whether social media, such as Facebook, is worth the risk of privacy. I believe the easiest, yet most efficient way to approach this topic is to analyze positive and negative effects social media has on society. Some of the positives and negatives are clearly obvious from our experiences with social media applications like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. I will be showing whether the comfortability, simplicity, and etc. outweighs the risk of privacy such as unnecessary advertising, leaks and etc.
