We Share Everything Online… But At What Cost?

Nowadays everything has become online and in such a situation it becomes very difficult to protect oneself and take care of one's privacy. Many times we knowingly or unknowingly violate our own privacy and trap ourselves in such traps from which it becomes a little difficult to get out. It is said that if you are online then you are not safe but you do not have any privacy either. Well, nowadays a lot of surveillance tools have been made and you don't even know which of your things might be known to someone else and so many people know a lot about you just by your digital footprint. So many people who spend time on these things can get a lot of information about you from your digital footprint. Yes, if you yourself are willing to compromise your privacy for your security, then so many companies or I should say government agencies would do it. The government has a kind of power that it can collect information about people and can also acquire a lot of information.

But if you give the government access to all your information, like they can see all the time what you are doing and whom you are talking to, how much time you are doing what things, many people are doing your things, okay, in such a situation, even though your security is becoming easy, in a way your privacy is also being violated completely. Many people may even be ready to do these things in the name of security, but many people will probably not put their privacy at stake. Because nowadays in the age of internet it becomes very difficult to keep oneself safe and very few people are able to maintain this privacy.

Well, nowadays people keep sharing their personal information from time to time through different social media platforms, hence any person who wants to take advantage of you can easily do whatever he wants to do. You may put your privacy at stake in the name of your safety but you will see that it is not a good thing because in such a situation any other person can take advantage of you and can even blackmail you, these types of people are available to you everywhere. Actually, even if you do not go, the government will still be there, but today the companies keep getting a lot of information about you, on the basis of that message many products are also sold to you.

You must be aware of the process because most of the big companies that let you use their platforms for free know where you spend most of your time, but based on the type of content you consume, you are shown ads to get you to buy something from them. See, nowadays the company needs the information and people provide the information easily without thinking, they do not even realize how all these things can be misused because many people do not have the knowledge of all these things.

Privacy is one thing but still there are all these things through which you can protect yourself like not using social media platforms and keeping your private life as private as possible, the more private you remain, the more secure you are, in a way if you do not give all your information to the government easily then they will have a lot of data and they can still control you as per their wish. Look, I will not say that all these things have disadvantages, many other things can also be good, like if a person lives alone in a house, then if someone keeps an eye on him, then they can know what is happening with the person and what he is doing right now, according to which if he needs any kind of help, then they can provide it to us.

It is okay that where there are advantages there are bound to be disadvantages too, you just have to see what is better for your life and you should take the decision on that basis.
