NO PRIVACY ONLINE ANYMORE??

I totally agree that there is no more privacy online based on several reasons.

First of all is an Internet privacy risks such as cookies, ISPs and data logging. For example, data logging like which websites that we are visit are potentially loss of security. If a third party has sufficient access to the computer that we use, logically or not, our privacy may be compromised. This non-privacy situation shown when there are some companies had monitor all instant messages (IM) sent by employees.

Besides, the expose of identity theft as cheater of identity also be a reason of no more privacy online. This is because, when the criminal get our personal information, maybe the criminal will commit fraud and even crime such as stealing or murder. They only need just our social security number to steal our identity.

Last but not least is private information which is not a private anymore. As we know, people put so much personal information into their social networking such as MySpace from their actual birthday to their favorite food and so on. Everything online is there forever in one form or another. It’s mean that even we make a change like deleting our account profiles, it’s doesn’t mean we has delete that information forever. Maybe other person has manipulated our information already.

As a conclusion, the lack of privacy online can lead to Internet privacy risks, identity theft and our private information which is not a private anymore.
