social media surveillance

 I believe social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and snapchat have become a way of surveillance. On Instagram and Facebook people post their current location regularly and I feel that it has become a habit for people to post things that should be private. I also noticed that on my snapchat, I would get advertisement from things I had just googled. I didn’t think too much of it until now after realizing that these social media apps spy on our history and cookies. Like myself many people do not pay attention or ignore the ads. However, people should be more aware because it is a way of surveillance.
