This paper explores perceptions and expectations of privacy when using computer-mediated communication and social media. In this paper we present the results of an empirical survey into this topic and explore the pedagogic implications for the teaching of cybersecurity. The study asked undergraduate students about their habits, expectations, and beliefs about the media they use and interact with. The aim was to capture and to inform the state of the art in cybersecurity teaching through identifying students' perceptions and views on privacy, security and whose responsibility these are. The academic provision for the teaching of cyber-security is a critical contemporary requirement. To improve this teaching, it is necessary to get some idea of the necessary requirements for such a course. Based upon the results of our survey, we go on to identify some of the key issues for such courses to address.
