Need Online Privacy????

NAME: LEONG MEI MUNG
MATRIC NO: A120453

I agree that there is no more privacy online because of some reason.

The first and important reason is the lack of safety online. Any information that I set online can be steal. Any information that I set can be seen by website producers. For example all information that users set in Friendster can be seen by Friendster producers. The producers may be do the bad thing with users’ information without notice me like fraud. It may influence users’ real life safety too.

Secondly, there is lack of control of my online information. Some of my information can be spread out in short period. Many of the users do not know how to control the spread of information. For example, Friendster website will spread user birthday date when the date reach without notice users. Hence the users cannot prevent the notice of their birthday to another user.

Lastly, fake information also can be appearing online. Some users will use fake personality to do any online activity. They will think that it protect their real information. For example, users can create their fake information to open new Friendster account so that no information can be stealing. Hence this show that there is no influence for online activity without online privacy.

In conclusion, I strongly agree that there is no more online privacy because of lack of safety online, lack of information control and appearing of fake information online.
