Abstract:
In term of the increasing spread and interest in the new media and its applicationsincluding social media websites; particularly, Facebook, the study is aimed to know the trickeries and types of violation of the privacy and identify the concept of the privacy and what represents violation to it for its users and the privacy of Facebook as a media and the ethics prevailing in it and what it provides of security and protection to their rights and information as well as the advertisement impact on their privacy.The Researcher adoptedthe descriptive method - for studying the researcher's community and designing electronic questionnaire, which was prepared to study the Facebook users. The study has been conducted on a sample consisting of (512) of its users.The study covers four sections. Section One contains the methodological framework of the study. Section Two which is titled "The Privacy" is a comparative study containing four themes. The first theme adopts the privacy (the concept, types, the privacy in the new media). The second theme considers the privacy as a legal right. The third theme discusses the technology and privacy (new media and violation of the privacy) and the fourth theme adopts the privacy in the information society (information, information penetration, information war). Section Three is titled "Privacy Policies in the New Media", and policies of using the information in the theme. The third theme discusses the tools, aspects and forms of violating the privacy in the new media. The fourth theme shed the light on the social media websites (Facebook : its orientation, definition, components, privacy policy). Section four : it is the field study, which consists of four themes; the first theme considers survey to Facebook survey. The second theme covers shows the findings, clues and analyzing them in quantity and quality, then the conclusions concluded by the researcher and interpreting and discussing them in the term of the study problem and inquiries, then the conclusions and recommendations.The study reached several results, the most significant of which : The study reached that most Facebook users believe that it is a media tool for their own, to publish and share what they desire and it gives them very large freedom compared with other media and they feel that their privacies are securedin it as it provides options of control in the advanced privacy and they showed it has no finger with their privacies and its objectives and policies are obvious towards the user's information, as indicated by more than half of the sample that they had read the policy of privacy in it but their answers suggest there is contradiction as most of them that they have no prior knowledge of the purpose of saving and processing their information by Facebook and they have no knowledge of the entities that may access to their private information or the entities that they share Facebook therein and most of them said that they do not agree to grant any media international license authorizing them to convey and identify their information and use any content subject to the intellectual rights without privilege fees to them.Most of them pointed that the use of Facebook to the files of identification of correlation inside and outside Facebook as violation to their privacy and all aforesaid particulars is mentioned in Facebook statement and the mechanism of its work and what it places of merits and characteristics has a role in violating the privacy because it is the first and last controller to what is published. Also, the study reached that there are many publications in Facebook urginghate as well as the publications that are not suitable to the teenagers.Most users found content breaching the intellectual property rights and also they see that the user's electronically information processing and establishing correlative relations among them by Facebook is a cause for violating the privacy. Also, there are no deterring laws in the Facebook and no removal of the abusing content after being reported as well as no obligation of the country local laws or religion and holy traditions respect. The people under research indicated that the law does not protect their privacy in the social media websites as they said that "there are no laws in their country to secure the right of their privacy".Also, most of them pointed that their countries do not contribute in introducing their society of the privacy laws. I confirm that it is necessary to enact laws to secure the privacy in the new media and as such media rely on the advertisement to be funded has the great impact for violating the privacy. The owned multinational companies' goal is to increase the profits.In the terms of the findings concluded by the study, it has recommended the following : 1. The need to Iraqi studies adopting the new media; particularly, Facebook and clarify anything regarding it and make the user aware.2. It is necessary educate and to make the users aware of the privacy and ensure their right of the privacy and secure their right lawfully and legislate new laws in consistence with the state of art technologies used by the new media.3. Each user of the new media should read the terms and conditions of registration and the policies of privacy to realize how such means deal with them and with their information.4. The public characters or those who are targeted must pay attention to their information and not to release what is important or private or localize their location in order not to be targeted and to protect themselves from those intruders and felonies.5. Facebook should apply the strict rules of protection and control protecting the intellectual property rights and protect the user of any violence; particularly, the teenagers and set up laws in consistence with the laws of most countries in order that no conflict may occur that may harm the user. Also, the control of the advertisements intervenes or the advertising companies obtain user's information and to subject them to the studies.6. The countries must realize the significance of the privacy of their societies and individuals and enact laws to protect them and demand guaranties to be protected. The subject is not limited to the personal privacy but exceeds the privacy of the countries and security.
