Social Media Privacy controllable?

Private property, private constraints, private land, private conversations, and the recent of private concerns deals with private social interaction via social media.... How do we as a society overcome our fears or come up with enough depositions in order to show that the privacy we have is limited? It is very hard to say the least, as we have discussed within our social media class within our last few meetings that seem to generate the same ideas that seemingly go in circles, which means we do not know how much privacy we have, but we do hold enough comprehension to the point that we are in control of our data at least to the amount to keep ourselves safe and as well as maintain a "clean cut" personal image through our social platforms. Though it is still hindered through the uncontrollable actions of others around.

 Now, that is a bold statement to make in regards to privacy not having such a clear position for us social media users, especially if one is very certain that they are sure no one will ever be of a consumer towards any of their private means, but the hardened truth is that everyone is curious at some degree. "Visual exposure" represented to us in texts in order to push our class into conversation is in effect. Whether individuals are so curious to push the "stalkerish" level for whatever twisted or just darker reasons they may be, or semi curious to just want enough Intel to gossip about; everyone wants to know everyone's spiel in order to create some deeper meaning to their image. It is fair to say that this is played into account from the utilization barriers that are overstepped everyday from people with cameras. Who are those people? literally everyone around you in our current stage of the twenty first century. The visual exposure is pressed on more often than not, as the transparency of seeing detail within image is much more pressing for an individual to be a true consumer of what is in front of them either just as much or more than what anything else they see to give them gratification.

Those levels of invading or just simply playing with the perception of others by having content of them and twisting it into a "playful" matter, does not necessarily sit well with many in the contexts of exposure through visual content. Vaidhyanathan explained that point throughout his book Anti-social media, in the early chapters that do captivate particularly what is wrong with the basic logistics of how we in our society do tend to invade without even realizing we are doing so. My personal theory from that point can also be included in terms of egotistic dilemmas. He explains by giving quote, "It demands our attention to render sights around us for later consumption.," referring directly to our cell phones as being the initial producers for content unintended or intended to be very demeaning to other individual's essential privacy.

The image given shows a celebrity giving into the action of putting her account on private. To say that this is a controllable act of her privacy would be true to a certain extent even giving her overall status in pop culture.

My point throughout this post is actually very simple excluding any point about the government that I promised myself I would not engage into any detail about. You control your privacy from people it needs to be controlled from,  if you want to not post something because of the severity it might hold behind it for data that does not need to be relevant then restrain from posting. But what can hinder that are many things that one may not control and that has to be a point accepted. Selena Gomez is going to have things she will never have known about her whether private or not so why can't you? ;)
