Privacy Issues
Another disadvantage of digital media is that it can violate our privacy.
When we sign up for social media accounts or use certain apps, we’re
often required to share personal information, such as our name, email
address, and phone number, when we sign up for social media
accounts or use certain apps.
This information can then be used to track our online activity, target us
with ads, or sell our data to third-party companies. This can be
intrusive and even dangerous if our personal information falls into the
wrong hands.
Understanding digital media and its advantages and disadvantages
makes one aware of the risks and more likely to use it responsibly.
