Assignment:
Audience: Average social media users
Main Idea(s): I feel as though the average social media user is very unaware of just how much of their data is being shared, whether legally or illegally. My white paper will be tackling the issues associated with data privacy and some solutions that can be implemented or further enforced.
Arguments:
? Data networks are global, but data protection is local
? Facebook has been caught multiple times soliciting user information unknowingly to 3rd party platforms
? There's no privacy in public spaces on the internet
For example, a white paper on privacy and the Internet of Things might present a set of recommendations for advancing privacy in the design of apps, but WOULD NOT simply review the research. White papers present a POV (Point of View) on a topic, along with relevant research. They are useable documents with purpose, not simple research pieces.
White papers should be 5 to 7 pages, 1.5 spaced, in Arial format with 1" margins all around. All citations should be presented in APA style. Endnotes will not count toward page length.
My White Paper topic is based on "How much of our data is really private? I feel as though the average social media user is very unaware of how much of their data is really private?"
