Summary

Emm(2014) mentioned in “ The Perils of Over-sharing in Social Networks” that there are increasing threats regarding sharing information online. This is due to the government and network service providers having access to important information. The author also believes that people are increasingly dependent on the internet. This causes us to reveal too much about about our daily lives and leaves us, and the people we work for, vulnerable to online threats. Emm(2014) also states that the dangers of over-sharing is easily over-looked, as handheld devices ,we frequently use, are not common targets for hackers. Hence, they provide a fake sense of security that could jeopardise our information. (107 words)
