Here comes that, personal data L-E-A-K, and, there’s, NO way of preventing it! From the Front Page Sections, translated…
Awhile ago, a man in England used the “Right to be Forgotten”, demanded that Google delete his criminal records, the courts ruled in his favor, that he can get his “stains” online deleted. The thrills of the electronic records, are documented, indefinitely with the search engines or the social networks, as Zuckerberg testified on the hearing, he’d said, that Facebook could NOT bar all the illegal ads, that his own personal information was sold off too, and that FB will collect the data of non-users, and all other major online companies are doing the same too.
Everybody wanted their colorful lives to shine out online, and yet, the wrong information, and the blank accusations that others had of our selves, we’d wanted them erased. In 2014, the European Union passed the “forgotten rights” law, allowing the users of the internet to get the information and outdated data relating to oneself off, but if the data is related to “public interests” then the companies can refuse to delete the data. Privacy is the protection of individuals, and in the digital world, the boundaries were blurred, seemingly things are anonymous, but, we’re, controlled in many ways online.
here comes, the age of NO privacy…
There’s no law like this in Taiwan, and, in being surveilled under the search engines, and the social networking sites, the actions would not just hurt those who were being surveilled, but those who are innocents, caught in the middle.
Are there any privacy in the digital life? That’s simple, the answer is NO. As the digitized hardware, the cell phone and computer connected to the clouds, everything goes into the backdoor systems, all our personal texts, our passwords, our photos.
Secondly, registering on FB, the map, or mobile services, and online shopping, etc., etc., etc., we couldn’t avoid our personal data from being extracted by third-parties, and sold off.
What is most important, is that the social networking weakens the privacy, it’d helped the peeping toms. The streamed live lives, the photos, the words, the emoticons. The British philosopher devised a jail system that’s circular, like radiation, those imprisoned aren’t just physically locked up, all of their actions, were all controlled, by everything happening all around them. And, the digital life right now, isn’t it, falling into this framework too?
As “personal information” was used by platform such as FB, and, life is controlled, by our own set up of “sharing”, issues of privacy and being surveilled had turned into the cancers of the digital lifestyle, something none of us can escape from.
And so, welcome, you all, to the AGE of NO privacy, because your information ARE getting sold, maybe NOT by specific internet company, but, there would be the personal data that got out of the system, that falls into the wrong hands, like how there had been, several scam calls to my cell already, and I believe, that it’s from my registry at a legitimate online bookstore site, and on the front of the website of the bookstore, it’d had the warnings of “we will NOT contact you by phone for anything” written…so yeah, our personal information can easily get out there…
