The flourishing of advanced technology has given rise to the influential impacts of social medias on human lives and this is by no means a positive phenomenon. I wholeheartedly concur with this statement, acknowledging that news media have triggered a heated debate on privacy and fake news concerns.
It is undeniable that the advancements of social platforms sometimes violate the rights of information security. To be more specific, a number of people, especially, well-known people are struggling to secure their private living from the intervention of journalism. A compelling example of this is the growing number of paparazzis, who capture celebrities’ private life and publicly spread it on newspapers. Consequently, regardless of their social status, every person is now running a risk of the violation of their privacy due to the insatiable thirst for fame of journalists.
In addition to the aforementioned downsides of the news media, fake news are now one of the most alarming problems of the information era. For further elaboration, without any consideration of morality, numerous newspaper writers now falsify their stories with a view to making it more thrilling. However, this becomes an contributing factors in the increasing appearance of fake news, which can distort people’s mindset about a specific problem or issue. For example, in the covid pandemic, there are multiple people public unverified methods to cure the diseased which is subsequently claimed to be anti-scientific.
In conclusion, I assert that the rapid development of the news industry entails numerous downsides and insert an detrimental influence on the daily life of people in terms of privacy rights and untrue news
