Is privacy still relevant given today's hyper-connected world of online social networking?
Privacy is still relevant.A common example of privacy intrusion which most of us dislike is when other people just read through our text messages in our mobile phones without permission and i find this behaviour rude. Everyone has information about themselves which they want to be kept confidential.
Most people own an account on online social networks like Facebook and Twitter while some own blogs where they can voice out their opinions and share the happenings in ther lives with friends but people should take note of the information they post because anyone can gain access to these information when it is online.They should not include information that are too personal(contact number,address etc.) because other people might misuse these information and that can cause trouble.In short,what they want to be kept confidential should never appear on the internet.
Often,online surveys are conducted by companies for customers to fill up.People should consider before disclosing any information,especially contact details because some companies might call you up frequently to promote or ask you questions about their products and this can be quite irritating.
Sure enough,social networks are useful as it helps you to keep up with friends but if we want the privacy,we should not disclose unnecessary information.
