Discuss Core principle of communication privacy management referring to experience with WhatsApp groups and provide practical example the principle from own experiences:
3. When we share, others become Co-owners of information
The core principle of communication privacy management that states "when we share, others become co-owners of information" emphasizes the idea that once we disclose information to someone else, they also have a stake in controlling that information. This can be easily observed in a platform like WhatsApp groups, where members share messages, photos, and other forms of information with each other.
In my own experience, I have seen this principle play out in a WhatsApp group chat where a member shared a personal story about a difficult situation they were going through. Initially, the group members responded with support and empathy, but over time, the information shared started to be discussed and shared with others outside of the group.
Despite the original intention of the member to only share with a select group, the information became the property of the group as a whole, and it was no longer solely under the control of the person who initially shared it. This led to a breach of privacy and trust within the group, as the personal story was no longer being kept confidential.
This serves as a practical example of how the principle of "when we share, others become co-owners of information" can impact our communication in WhatsApp groups or any other form of social interaction. It highlights the importance of being mindful of what we disclose and understanding the potential consequences of sharing sensitive information with others. It also underscores the need for clear communication boundaries and respect for privacy within group settings.
