New media has certainly changed people's expectations of privacy, especially when things become digitized. Lots of celebrities and social media influencers have been thrown under fire and bashed for past tweets or posts they've once said. But even if they delete it, once it's on the internet, it'll stay there (as there's always a chance someone will screenshot and post the picture or repost an upload in a different site).
I think there are many repercussions that come with the convenience and entertainment of new media. Nowadays, it's easy to say convenience often comes with a price, especially when it comes with the internet. For instance, when purchasing items from your favorite website, you can input your credit card number and make the purchase. For the sake of convenience, you may choose to save your credit card information with your account for easy and quick purchases. But with that ease of purchase, that convenience provided by the website, comes with a consequence— vulnerability.
In the past, there have also been instances where computers would even take routine screenshots of your screen and send that information to its respective business. Today, there is even a messaging app that gives you the option of sending your chat logs to the company in exchange for the use of the AI built into the app. Of course, all of this is explicitly stated to the consumer beforehand but it brings up a lot of issues in regards to privacy. Although the user of the app may be fine with sending their chat logs to the creators of the app, how about the recipient of their messages? Where's their input in this trade-off?
It's similar to Reed's example of the photograph: in which, sharing a photograph online of you at a party, while a drunken person is acting silly in the background — it brings up the question as to who has the most of the rights of sharing that picture or restricting who it can be shared it to? The person who took the photo, the subject of the photo, or the drunken person? As Reed said, "the shifting nature of social relationships further exacerbates these challenges [in regards to ownership and privacy]."
