Privacy is an extremely important thing to any generation. Privacy gives individuals the power to decide on who can know certain things about them with their feelings and thoughts. It generally protects our own information that is chosen to not be shared publicly. It helps people protect themselves from their own reputation and judgements. These issues do in fact affect my personal self and the people close to me because everyone wants their own privacy here and there, and when something is leaked it is not fun for anyone.
The government should make people feel comfortable enough to be able to talk about anything in front of their phones without the fear of anything being heard upon or tracked. Based on the Ted Talk, it is confirmed that the government does in fact have their own ways to go through any single persons phone. Now this sounds as if it is just in a negative light because it is an invasion of personal space, however there are certain reasonings to this. It is primarily based on helping peoples safety by doing it too track immigration enforcement or any type of terrorist attack that could go on to protect the country as a whole. There are always two different view points to every story, with that being said some people may either be for the government doing this for their own protection, or they might be against it for privacy factors.
There are certain things that we can do to protect ourselves from invasions of our privacy. The first step to take in doing this is to limit your own exposure on what you post on social media platforms. Social media is one of the biggest things where people find out the latest gossip and information about other individuals. There are also different search engines that people can use to help them feel for comfortable from the public.
