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.
Nowadays we all want to protect our privacy, but then upload to Facebook, live our lives in real time with Periscope and Meerkat, and we are surprised when we find out that our Snapchat messages do not always disappear when they we have seen.
Αφήνοντας στην άκρη το αν η Εθνική Υπηρεσία Ασφαλείας (NSA), μπορεί να σπάσει κάθε ανοικτή εφαρμογή SSL οποτεδήποτε θέλει, τα κενά ασφαλείας, όπως το FREAK, και το γεγονός ότι οι κυβερνήσεις μπορούν να συλλέγουν ότι θέλουν, και ας πιάσουμε το συνηθισμένο πια γεγονός ότι ανά πάσα στιγμή ανεβάζετε μη κρυπτογραφημένες πληροφορίες σε δημόσιους ιστότοπους, που όλοι μπορούν να τις δουν, ξεχνώντας πολλές φορές ότι κάθε movement what you do online is likely to be tracked.
On too many social networks, like Facebook and Google+, a large part of the companies' business plan relies on identifying your interests so that they can more effectively target advertisements their.
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 track when you're on the company's website. Days ago we reported that the social network continues to track your online behaviors, even after you log out of your account. The connection to your profile to attach the additional information can be done with a simple cookie.
But it's not just Facebook. Google has an ad ID that monitors Android users, and Apple uses your email address and IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) to monitor you. With the rise of Big Data apps such as Facebook Atlas, it has been easier than ever for companies to monitor 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 use only websites protected with Security-Socket Layer (SSL). Nothing seems to help. You should remember this every time you take out personal or company data on Internet.
