The Utopia of Secure Internet

You remember the story of the site JenniCam; 1996, Jennifer Ringley has decided to record her life in photos every three minutes and upload it to the Internet. Her life changed. Her website became one of the most popular 10 sites on the internet.

Her story traveled from the media and went through Letterman, the Wall Street Journal, This American Life, essentially releasing her private life in the forum, and of course out of control.

Jennifer Ringley has left 2003 online and has not been back since, as ZDNet reports.internet safety

Στη σημερινή εποχή όλοι επιθυμούμε να υπάρχει προστασία της ιδιωτικής μας ζωής, αλλά στη συνέχεια ανεβάζουμε στο Facebook, μεταδίδουμε τις ζωές μας σε πραγματικό χρόνο με το Periscope και το Meerkat, και μένουμε έκπληκτοι όταν ανακαλύπτουμε ότι τα us at they do not always disappear when we have seen them.

Leaving aside whether the National Security Agency (NSA), can κάθε ανοικτή εφαρμογή whenever it wants, the security loopholes like FREAK, and the fact that governments can collect whatever they want, and let's take the now commonplace fact that at any moment you upload unencrypted information to public websites, for all to see, forgetting many times that every move you make online is likely to be tracked.

In too many social networks, such as Facebook and Google+, much of the corporate business plan is based on identifying your interests so that they can target their ads more effectively.

Think about it, and just look at the ads on your pages. Do they reflect your searches, what you have written, or that you liked? Of course they do.

It's also not just that they watch when you're on the company's website. A few days ago we mentioned that the social network continues to monitor your online behaviors, even when you sign out of your account. Linking your profile to attach additional information can be done with a simple cookie.

But it's not just Facebook. Google has διαφημίσεων που παρακολουθεί τους χρήστες του Android, και η Apple your email address and IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) to track you. With the rise of Big Data applications like Facebook Atlas, it has become easier than ever for companies to track your every move on the Internet.

Our personal information is used for trade and is marketable. The internet gives us quickly what we want, and in return the advertising companies are following every step.

You can lock your Facebook account, set up your iPhone and Android to better protect your privacy, and only use websites protected by - Socket Layer (SSL). Nothing seems to help. You should remember this every time you take out personal or company data on Internet.
