Privacy

Online social networks are websites that allow users to build connections and relationships to other Internet users. It can be used to keep in touch with friends, make new contacts and find people with similar interests and ideas. It is common for one to have a Facebook account or MSN. They would post their personal stuff and information for their “friends” to see. Some bloggers even write their personal diary post on their blog for all to see. Hence, I feel that privacy is not relevant privacy still relevant given today’s hyper-connected world of online social networking. It is not possible when everybody is sharing their personal information internationally. Even if one need access or permission to see the other information, there are hackers everywhere and whatever meant to be private will be exposed to stranger. All in all, I feel that there is no privacy in online networking.
