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.

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).

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?
