No more privacy online???

i agree that there is no more privacy online because of several reason.

The first reason is lack of control in information flow. Internet is a virtual world with no boundaries and limits. Even a small update in website can be noticed by everyone in this world. For example, in Friendster, any changes of profile or new photos updated can be browsed by other user because there is a notifications in other user's website.

Secondly, there are very limited law and legal protection against the online content. Information can be spread out widely with no limits. For example, people can send spam easily to everyone at anytime. Hence criminal crimes increase for those people who do no abide the law. But no action or punishment can be taken to them.

The third and the most important reason is lack of safety online. Our own information easily to steal by people by hacking our accounts. For example, there are alot of unknown users hack other user's accounts to steal their pin number and hence create a new fake identity. Then this fake identity is used by people to do bad things.

In conclusion, i agree that there is no more privacy online due to lack of information control, insufficient of cyber law to protect our privacy and lack of safety online.
