Online Privacy

The two readings were long informative articles that exposed really important matters regarding online privacy. The first reading  Facebook’s Privacy Trainwreck points out many flaws in Facebook’s privacy system. After reading the article I became more aware how exposed I really am to my friends and to the world. Anything shared on Facebook can affect not only someone’s life but their future career as well. In the second article Online Privacy: Do Americans need better Privacy?, Marshall implanted fear into my naïve little mind on how naked I really am when I surf the net. I feel that the government should strictly regulate online privacy though they fear that by doing so may hinder the economic growth. Regardless online privacy is a topic that is raising a lot of attentions.

The reading on online privacy was very interesting and I learned a lot of stuffs that I didn’t know about and never even heard of. It’s like the internet knows more stuffs on you than you know about yourself. They keep track of everything you’ve done, they know the exact month, day and time when you visited a website, that’s something you won’t even remember. I think that’s not cool at all, why should every single thing that you do on the internet should be monitored and stored? We, users of the internet should have more control on our online activities, the advertisers should not be allowed to take our personal information without us knowing.

Online Privacy? Does it even exist?
