Privacy, Online & Off

 Privacy, Online & Off 


In the world we live in now there really is no such thing as privacy. With the internet today and the new technology it has made it a lot easier for people to interfere with your privacy. Feeling like you have no privacy to do things can make you paranoid and make you feel not safe. It's definitely a problem in the world we're living in. It's shocking to think that the daily messages people send to their family members or friends can be seen by the government. 

These issues affect me and my friends/family because the government knows way too much about us. It paints an image to the local police officers on who they think you are based on the whereabouts of where you go. It can paint a false image of who you truly are, which is truly a scary thought to think about. It's frightening to think that the government knows where we're at most of the time and how long we were there. 

The government should realize that we should all have our own privacy and that them listening to our phone calls or looking at our messages is unfair. As people we deserve to have our own privacy and not have to worry about someone watching and tracking us all the time. As well, I believe that the government should do a better job of safe-keeping people's information to themselves, if they are going to track our everyday moves. For example, when you search up a family member's name or anyone's name it can tell their whole life story, including their addresses, phone numbers, and names of their family. 

There's not much we can do to protect ourselves from invasions of our privacy, but there's some things we can prevent. Some things include not posting a lot of your public information online and also making sure who you're sending something to is worth your trust. It's a tough world that we live in currently, but if you avoid putting everything online, then it becomes harder to track what's going on in your life. Sometimes our privacy can be out of our control, but all most people can really do is control what they can control by just not putting out private information for everyone to see.
