Online Privacy: Why You Should Care

Don Jacob

Billy Graham once said, “Once you've lost your privacy, you realize you've lost an extremely valuable thing” (www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/b/billygraha446542.html). Privacy is highly valued in USA and similar nations. The concept of privacy could differ from nations to nations and from community to community. Thus, privacy is defined in several ways and there may not be any unanimity of views. In this paper a discussion on a narrower topic of Online Privacy is presented.

Slow Loss of Privacy in Online

With all the technological advances and the ever-increasing usage rates of online services and programs, privacy is slowly given away. Every time you begin using an online service such as Google’s email or the online social network such as Facebook, you open a gateway for information to be leaked out by you and of you into the public domain.

Importance to Safeguard Online Privacy

The idea of maintaining online privacy is something that is not given much thought by majority of users. The reason is that most users don’t realize that this information, for example, a location attached to a status or checking into locations can be used by stalkers and other undesirable people to track your whereabouts. You might accidentally alert a stalker where you are going or accidentally inform a burglar that your home is vacant long enough for them to steal whatever they are after.
