Privacy for most websites, such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat have all improved their privacy policies over the years . However, all companies have stated that the internet is a public place, and if you do not want your message to be shared, or forwarded by another person, it is recommend to not post at all. O’Connell, J. (2015) 3Q’s: Snapchat’s new privacy policy: What you should know.

Most social media websites have worked hard, to keep your personal information private, according to their website, however, they have not fully created and granted full privacy polices for a user to completely feel safe, and secured when posting.

The growth of privacy polices and procedures will change, and I do feel that it will become stronger as the websites progress and time goes on, but I would still take caution as much as I can, because as the creators have said in the polices, the internet is open and accessible to anyone.
