4 Guidelines for Social Networking

ARS MEDIA
Internet Safety and
Privacy Policies

ARS MEDIA
“Whatever happens online
stays online”

ARS MEDIA
Big Data
Information may also be gathered from a user’s actions
online using “cookies” (short strings of text stored on
one’s hard drive). Some of the purposes of cookies
may include:
• Tracking which websites a user has viewed.
• Storing information associated with speciﬁc websites
(such as items in a shopping cart).
• Tracking movement from one website to another.
• Building a proﬁle around a user.

ARS MEDIA
Types of Privacy
 Privacy as it relates to government monitoring, collection, and analysis
(e.g. NSA; National Security;)
 Privacy as it relates to the collection and use of data by private entities
(e.g. Privacy Policies)
 Privacy as it relates to the “right to be left alone.” (e.g. Spam; Do Not Call
Lists)
 Privacy as it relates to the preserving private information (e.g.Trade
Secrets; NDAs;“Classiﬁed”)
 Privacy as it relates to the prevention of crime (e.g. Identity Theft; anti-
hacking)
 Privacy as it relates to the right to do embarrassing things without it
being made public

ARS MEDIA
Social Media Complicates Privacy
 Driven by younger generations with different views on privacy and, more
importantly, different views on the importance of information in their
lives.
 Social media has changed the private v. public calculus to one that is
primarily an issue over who controls the ﬁlters and who controls the data
(as we’ll see later)
 Social media users often seem surprised when data that they have publicly
posted is then used “against them”.
 The currency of social media websites is the data about their users so the
incentives of social media are to protect privacy only to the extent
necessary to obtain trust from their users.

ARS MEDIA
 Facebook, MySpace, etc. has caused or reﬂects a change with
respect to privacy expectations of the “Millennial Generation”
 Nothing is ever deleted and, as a result, all of life is public
(hiring; public identity)
 Issues the same, but different in kind, because of the great
personal information present (see, also, search engines).
 Rise of the humiliation lawsuit
Social Media Complicates Privacy

Facebook Pages
Pages are for professional use and allow
an organization, business, celebrity or
band to maintain a presence on Facebook.
They are managed by people who have
personal proﬁles, and you may add other
admins to help you manage it.
Pages differ from Groups because they
are supposed to be used by real
organizations. Groups are meeting places
for people with similar interests or
hobbies.

Create a social media marketing campaign
1) A local pet store owner in Randburg wants to engage with customers via social media. Each year they host a dog
walk to raise awareness on Rhino poaching and they would like to sign up more people. They have a limited budget
but they are open to any ideas.
2) Chef Chantelle teaches cooking classes 4 times a week and she wants to develop a digital campaign to increase
trafﬁc to her website and sign up more customers to her classes. Help her develop a interactive campaign
combining mobile and social media.
3) A supermarket chain has recently signed a initiative to sell local small farmers produce in their stores. They
would like to inform its customers that the fruit and vegetables they are selling are grown on local South African
farms. What new media platforms should they use and how can they make the campaign interactive and increase
proﬁt sales?
