The Vantage Point:: New Media and Knowledge


Week two of class brings us to the topic of ethics and media. One of the biggest challenges facing those of us who embrace social media is that of privacy. Is it ethical for companies like Google spy on customers and track websites you have visited, and without your knowledge or consent package that information and sell it to the highest bidder. and soon after your bombarded by custom made ads selling you everything from Graduate Masters Programs to tortilla machines. The ethical line is becoming more blurred and much of the blame is on media.
