New media comes with plenty of issues with privacy and confidentiality. For example, In the New York Times, Tim Arango published an article "As Rights Clash on YouTube, Some Music Vanishes" where he goes into depth about the copyright issues on YouTube. Warner Music has a partnership with YouTube to monitor footage uploaded by anybody with possible issues of copyright issues. Resulting in these issues people are subjected for their videos to be monitored on a daily basis which violates privacy at a certain level. Also videos do get taken down if there is an issue found with it. Another article in Wired by David Kravets, goes into detail about how Google was opting to manually go through copyright issues that arise on Youtube. However this article was updated two days later stating that Google has retracted that statement. Youtube does need to manually go through the videos rather than taking it down automatically because some of the content that is published do not violate any rules of confidentiality and privacy. These are some issues that arise in new media and privacy.
