It suddenly dawned on me that knowing who owns what social platforms, online tools and communication tools in the digitally connected world is important and we need to share this with our students. This is critical as media companies merge and acquire each other, they own tremedous amount of personal information too. As these personal information in each platform are mapped together, they can form full digital image of an individual or a community.
Digital privacy can be compromised if all eggs are put together due to mergers and acquisitions.Disturbing global trends. Information in the hands of a few.or in a One super company.
nothing is really private anymore online.. the idea of the digital footprint is probably something we really need to inculcate in our students and even ourselves as educators...
