Social Media and Privacy

The issue with social media is that it is slowly but surely destroying the idea of privacy. Social media has made it almost a prerequisite of everyday life to tell everyone everything you're doing all the time. Because of this, we realize that people are becoming accustomed to a life rooted in having your private business in public. While this might seem at best, a great thing and at worst a non-important issue, it is anything but. The value of privacy is anonymity; being able to move on from your mistakes and slowly forget them. Now, with the internet and the lack of privacy, your mistakes are slowly becoming eternal.
