"The perils of over-sharing in social networks" by Emm (2014) seems to be rather against the increasing dependency that society has on the internet. In the article, Emm shares about his concerns over "government snooping" which allows for institutions and authorities to spy on our personal e-mails, text messages etc. Emm also goes on to talk about the impending dangers that an over reliance on social media platforms poses to people. For example, the jeopardization of our personal lives when personal details land in the wrong hands. In addition to that, the author also believes that the over-sharing of private informations online can have adverse effects on the companies we work for. The author's sentiments resonates with my own. I have personally witness friends getting cyber-bullied or falling victims to cyber-crimes, and as such i strongly believe that the internet is not a safe place for sharing personal details.
