Internet Privacy is a big topic right now because people are starting to learn their internet lives aren't as private as they might think. "Privacy refers to the general belief that certain things such as written materials, oral communications, and matters having to do with personal relationships are confidential and should remain so unless they are voluntarily divulged." stated by James P. Colt. But why is that our PRIVATE email accounts are open to anyone? James P. Colt also confirms our fear, "digital footprints remain after one surfs the Internet, posts information to a Web site, or sends and receives email or text messages." Does this tell us we have absolutely NO privacy? Yes, social security numbers, passwords, online banking information... all of which are a hackers dream come true. All of your account information is there for who ever knows how to get it. But now its getting easier, Facebook, just about everyone has heard of the social network sweeping across the nation.Well as a lot of young people put their phone number and address there Facebook is selling it to third party companies. Facebook has recently announced that they are making members phone numbers and addresses available to developers and other third party companies.this means you will be getting spam text messages. NOT COOL. Facebook also tried to say they are asking permission to give away information, according to Chloe Albanesius
"there are just too many attacks happening on a daily basis which trick users into doing precisely this." which mean the Facebook pop up you get... isn't always Facebook. Overall When your online and your asked if you want your information private, Remember, NOTHING on the internet is private! Is there a law against this? nope! The 4th amendment in the constitution Prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and sets out requirements for search warrants based on probable cause. Does this include computers and internet searches? why or why not? things such as this are why internet privacy are in a gray zone for people. Unknown searches through our private things all the time, and the right to refuse isn't even there.
