Are You Worried About Privacy When Online?

If you are, you have only 2 options:
1. Get off the Internet.
2. Do something about it.

Here's an excellent feature:

Remember, no matter what measures you take, your privacy will not be 100% protected...

 

Do I worry? Of course. Would be very naïve not to. Do I want to get off the internet and hide? No! I try to do what I can on my end to protect myself but I know it is never enough.
When I've had this conversation with friends and family that share way to much personal info on Facebook I hear comments like "My life is a open book. I don't care what people know about me!"
They have shared everything but their Social Security number and give no thought to Identity Theft or a home break in because they just told the world they are on vacation. Some have said they never update Windows and have very little security protection on they computer or phone because they don't see the use. I don't understand their blasé attitude.

 

On that page there is a 'test my browser' link to panoptic. I ran the test. Seems I'm good but not good enough!
Many should run this test to see where their basic protections stand and make an effort to better secure their web use.

 

3. LIE
Teach your kids about lying and when they need to lie or at least evade telling the truth. Facebook, Twitter, etc do not need to know any truths about you. You can and should use a persona. I call it lying because you are usually evading a direct question to get a login. Or you can trust the internet and post your kids pictures, actual address, email, etc.

 

Always online. Especially if you're female and young.

 

I try to stay off face book as much as i can.They tend to invade others life ,Just like google and yahoo.

There is no such thing as 100% secure.If any thing it's like 75% secure and 25% open depends on the setup.

Even the so called Deep web is the worst unsecured part of the internet.I have been there and not much there that interest me.
