Privacy is almost non-existant. When you can be video/audiorecorded anywhere and that information posted up on Youtube without question to share with the world, how is there privacy? When all of your bank's data, your government records, and eventually your health records can be accessed by more and more people, where is the privacy? If your friends and family post pictures of you up on Facebook and tell of your latest deeds without your permission, when they would certainly not call all of your friends and family on the phone to tell them those things, where is the privacy?
The question I think that is more relevant is how we should try to protect ourselves and what we should try to protect in the coming years.
It would be one thing if all data were raw and public, but people can take all of that data and alter it or put a spin on it to fabricate a reality much more convincing and much more easily year-by-year as we share more data and technology advances.
So the answer can't be that their should be no attempt at privacy, but at the same time, we all have to embrace the fact that we basically have no true protection anymore. We are wide open and the only way to keep from getting hurt is to live outside of that world, something I'm not sure is possible anymore.
- skbohra123 16y agoThe one big question that comes to mind is, privacy issues are worse with bigger companies. I am more worried about Google or Facebook using my data then any smaller company and at the same time they provide such great services 'free' that I just can't help using them.
