Your privacy online is virtually nonexistent. Anything that you post will always be there even if you delete it. You can be tracked, watched and spied on just by the things you are posted on a daily basis. Your only pretense could be compared to a tattoo because they don't really need to be described by words, they tell stories just based off of what they look like. This can be compared to the things you post online, they represent you just by how they look, without having context. It is up to anyones interpretation and that makes it dangerous. The provide information about who and what you are just by seeing a single photo. Not only is your privacy somewhat compromised with what you post online, so is your location at any point in time when owning a phone. It is able to track everywhere you've gone and everywhere you've been. This info is used by the government for various things and used to be private but now isn't so private. Many people don't know that this is even going on. The government is constantly collecting data on us to be put into a huge database for use at any point and time. Many see this as a breach in privacy and rights of being a citizen.
Telephone companies now have the ability to wire surveillance before you even purchase your phone.Anyone could be listening to any conversation you are having at any given time. These systems are often hacked into and breached. Its still happening today and is upsetting government that tech companies have the ability to do this to their own customers but not giving government all the access to all of this information.
Overall, in the long run everything and anything in your virtual world can be used against you at any point in time. It may be things that you never even knew the government has or obtained from your cellphone or computer, but all of these things could be used against you.The problem is people aren't taking it seriously and aren't realizing that their information no matter what it is can be compromised and hacked into at any point without them knowing.
