Maintaining Internet Privacy
Lorenzo: I wouldn’t post all of those photos on social media sites.
Pamela: Why not? Only my friends and family are going to see them.
Lorenzo: I wouldn’t be so sure. And I wouldn’t post all of that personal data either or divulge 1 personal information. You don’t know who may gain access to your page.
Pamela: There are privacy safeguards on this website. I can block anyone I don’t know from getting access, so no one can see what I post without permission.
Lorenzo: Well, the people who run the website itself have access. They could track what you do and what you post, and extract data from your page to sell to third- party buyers.
Pamela: No, they can’t do that. I’d know if they were doing that.
Lorenzo: How?
Pamela: Well...
Lorenzo: As I said, that’s happening as we speak. And those are the legitimate 2 uses of your information. Hackers 3 can gain access, too, with malicious 4 intent. They can do a lot of damage with the personal data you’ve posted.
Pamela: So, what should I do?
Lorenzo: Take down most of your posts and photos, at least the ones you wouldn’t want everyone to see.
Pamela: But that would mean no one would know anything about me. Worse yet, it would mean having a really boring page.
Lorenzo: It’s either risk being boring or risk an invasion of your privacy.
Pamela: Wow, what a dilemma 5!
