Why should your privacy online be important to you?

Stanford grad student, Johnathan R. Mayer shared a report last month that revealed how web sites share your information with ad networks proving that online tracking is not anonymous.

Sadly most people have no idea how little privacy they have online.

“…not only do many popular web sites wring as much personally identifiable information as possible out of its own users, they funnel that data to other web sites, spreading news of one user’s browsing habits to as many as 22 companies with every visit to a particular site.” –Kevin Fogarty | IT World

Sadly most people have no idea how little privacy they have online.

In today’s online world, privacy is not a right that exists, it is an option that you must exercise on your own. Just the fact you are reading this means you are more aware of privacy issues than the vast majority of people. Please share your knowledge with others and we hope this video helps.

  2. Thanks for sharing; it’s true that many organizations share personal information about their customers without informing them. Hence, one should be careful while posting any personal information online.
