content: Internet privacy So what do y'all think about internet privacy? Honestly, most people probably don't even think about it, just look at Instagram, where people are posting personal pictures of themselves, their schools, their homes, their jobs, etc. But for those of y'all who do think about it, how do y'all feel? I've read what some people have said in light of the massive scandals between big tech and the government over the last 6 years (since the NSA incident) and one man who wrote an article called "The Value of Privacy" commented that he felt that privacy was more than a personal choice, but also a matter of dignity. I agree. I personally think that the nobody, not even the government has the right to spy on people, and Silicon Valley has even less of a right. In this world where people's care for fellow man is waxing cold, we have corporatists who think that your personal information-your search data, your work, your home-is just another asset that can be bought and sold. Even worse, we live in societies where governments feel justified in spying on us and collecting our data. They cover their tracks by claiming it's "to stop terrorists" and to "build secure societies", but let's face it, it's just a way for the elite to root out opponents who may pose a threat to their power. Most of us don't want this sort of attention. We wouldn't want some random dude spying on us-even if it were for a good reason-because we want time alone where nobody can see us, so that way we can be who we really are for a few minutes. If we wouldn't want some random dude spying on us, then we definitely don't want a megacorporation or a government spying on us-even if they have the best reason in the world. All of us are Humans, no matter what, and therefore we all deserve the same rights no matter what. One of those rights that we should have is the right to live unencumbered by moral policing. For this reason I think that internet privacy is an important topic especially in an age where people's personal data is one click or search away. Now, we are beyond authority figures reading your body language and CCTV, we all carry devices that track our location without permission, devices that can record our faces and voices. These devices are specifically designed to be addicting, thus forcing us to feed into them and give them more data they can use against us. I don't know how to fix this, but we need to come up with something soon.
