Power of Social Media
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snap-chat, etc, these are the basic and known media we know to share our feed, photos, videos, location. Pretty everything and every detail of our lives are online and we can access it any time and the moment we want and every data is in our reach at a real time. What more we could want. Let us consider an example you have done your school year back and you had lost your connection with your dear friend and one fine day you log in you SNS id you see what you find your friend and you could now stay connected, well this is a smaller version. Lets now say you have a VR headset and you can see everything 360 degrees and see all around being a part of the place.

Does, These companies taking perfect care that our data do not get trade with the 3rd party companies and our data is in the right hand, can these social media companies guarantee this thing. Might be yes or might be not.
I think not. Breaching of data is a serious case.
- Yahoo: 3 billion accounts in 2013.
- Yahoo: 500 million accounts in 2014.
- Marriott/Starwood: 500 million guests in 2018.
- Friend Finder Networks: 412 million accounts in 2016.
- Equifax: 146 million accounts in 2017.
one of the case we can see is with the GOOGLE +, due to the reason of security is needed to be shut and imagine how big tech giant is google and what status it has maintained. Well, what to say no one can be trusted. Well, the fun fact Google never deletes your data/mail from its server if you delete or so it always remains with them and they could use it whenever and whatever they want.
