Online Privacy is a total myth, there is no such thing. One way or other your all online activity is being tracked and used to understand the behavior of a particular person. Social Media is both Good as well as bad for the visitors. Social Media is a platform which provides you the opportunity to become and feel like a celebrity.
Online privacy is indeed important.
However, since the rise of social media like Facebook, some people seem do not care much about their privacy. They tend to share more about their daily life. There is no wrong with this as long as some very “Private” things are not shared publicly.
Thanks to this helpful information about digital privacy. I observed that as technology rise, the hackers got the latest trend too. It is important to innovate always with regards to digital security in order to ensure that our private information is being held safe.
Wow! This is a great article, I read the guides, and I must say it is very innovative. Online privacy these days is a far cry from what it should be. Even your employers can monitor your private online chats, and other activities, and use it against you by firing you for having private chats on work hours, which is not suppose to be so.
This is an amazing report. It covers everything you need to know about digital privacy, from Facebook, to cell phones, to web searches … there seems to be no end to it!
But we need to know these things. More than any other time in history, we have convenience at our fingertips, but so do the thieves! And cyber-thieves have it much easier than the thieves of yesteryear.
Don’t forget that our government spies on us too! They can’t and won’t admit it, but they do.
Thanks so much for this. Privacy is a huge concern now because of the vast increase in internet use. It is always necessary to take the precautions to protect user data on websites. Many people have so much personal information online and privacy protection is an increasing concern. The guide is very helpful, thank you!
