The recent actions of Darren Bent on Twitter has struck some real controversy in the footballing world. The internet is having a huge impact of the daily lives of everybody and this is just another reason why privacy and confidentiality has been such a big issue in recent years. Twitter and other online technology are making it more and more difficult to keep events and personal details under wraps. Even more spectacular we saw Tranmere Rovers were up in arms after a company that they had appointed to find them a buyer put the club up for sale on eBay.

We recently saw twitter up for a possible nomination for the Nobel peace prize concerning the riots after the election in Iran. Without twitter and other new strives in technology, there would have been a lot less coverage of the events and a lot more cover-ups.

We can certainly say that we’re entering a new era of freedom of information with constant battles over privacy. We can only expect more innovation so who knows what is around the next corner.
