Protecting Your Privacy

People these days have a lack of caution with regards to their privacy. Setting photos of our face as the display image on some websites such as SNS makes it so easy for other people to find you on those websites. This could lead to some problems which could harm you in your real life.

Even in your own home, have you ever felt bothered by a family member who checked your cell phone or laptop or your personal history without asking first? Did you get mad? Even family should not abuse privacy as everyone has their right to privacy and it must be protected. The wave of globalization is creating a comfortable and smooth internet life for us but at the same time it is also creating so many new risks.

Someone stealing your personal information could cause you to suffer and disgrace your name. They might make up a story of something that you have never done and it could be exposed to the public. If you pay attention to your privacy and your safety, those kinds of risks would be much less. It is really important to not only protect your privacy, but also that of your family, your friends, and colleagues.
