Blog 2: Privacy, Online & Off


Privacy. Something we think we all have but really we don't. Most people have a smartphone, it seems to be one of the greatest gadgets but when you look into it deeper it could be scary. It always seems like the ads just so happen to know what you are interested in but really there is a reason for it.

Many private companies, if not all, take data about the individual's hobbies, interests, political views, purchasing habits, etc. to cater to a feed of ads that will interest the viewer. The government would be breaking many Amendments if they were the ones taking the information so they get the private companies to seek the information. After watching the TED talks it really shows that there is a big problem with privacy, or lack of, on phones that everyone encounters. This will help people learn how serious it can be, this is an idea that is worth spreading!
