Privacy and You
There was a moment in class when I realized that students are interested in
the news and particularly, news around social media companies (Shout out
to Patricia Smith for knowing about Cambridge Analytica). So I dug up some
good articles on the subject so we can all be more informed citizens. Please read the following and answer the questions in the
Google Form. Then write a 1-2 paragraph reflection on the topic of
privacy in the Comment section of this post. Is it important to you or are you ok with companies using your
data without your permission?

ReplyDeleteI am not okay with companies using my personal information and data without my permission. That information is everything about you such as age, height, gender, where you live, where you go to school, and who your friends and family are. The companies are taking your information without you knowing and i think that's wrong. i think that your information should be protected and not shared with companies. Privacy is extremely important and exposing that information can be unsafe and concerning.
ReplyDeleteWith privacy, I am not okay with different medias or companies taken my own personal information. I don't feel very strong that they will keep my personal information safe and now since it's not that safe these days I always have a feeling I would be tracked down or hacked. I think this is a major problem for companies such as Facebook and Instagram and this should be a number one priority for them at the moment and then they should worry about updates after they fix this privacy policy.
ReplyDeleteI am not okay with companies using my data without my permission because privacy is important to me. I believe using someones documents without asking them is wrong and can be a felony, it is their personal information you are taking without their consent. Personal information can include a persons social security code, age, date of birth, gender, house address, phone number, and people information that you are related to. this is why it s so significant to know who you are sharing this information with, people can act like you and even use your credit card without you knowing.

ReplyDeleteI do not like my personal data being shared. Everyone should have privacy and it is our right. Our personal information can be used for horrible things. It can be sold and stolen. I don't feel safe with my personal information being out in the ope. And people having access to it, this can be very dangerous. Moreover, we should solve the problem with our information being available to everyone and we should stop having items used to spy on us.
ReplyDeleteI feel like the companies shouldn't look at people's personal data especially mines. The companies should have permission and shouldn't have to go through people's stuff. The companies could have easily use the information and say it is theirs. The personal information could be anything like age, gender, and etc. Privacy is important to everyone and some stuff shouldn't have to be anyone else business.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm not okay with companies utilizing my data without my authorization. The information that's stored on my computer is my concern not there's. I should be permitted to have my own personal privacy on any of my devices. Not only that it contains, where I go to school, my identity, my family, phone number, where I live and etc. In my own opinion, privacy is my top priority, therefore it's my personal business. Companies should ask me for my approval of my personal belongings.
ReplyDeleteNo, I am not okay with companies utilizing my date without my approval. My private information stored in my computer, phone, etc shouldn't be shared with others. My information could endanger me, along with my family members data such as, work or school, addresses, phone numbers, and etc. We shouldn't have to live worrying about where our private date is being shared and how it could affect our lives.
ReplyDeleteNo, I am not okay with companies sharing my personal data without my permission. The personal information I put on my phone or on any other electronic device shouldn't be shared with any other company or person except for myself. My data contains all the personal information about me for example-my name, date of birth, place I was born, address, phone numbers and much more. If this information ever got leaked it would endanger me and my family. I shouldn't have to worry about my live being put in danger. The information we put on our phones we are trusting the company to protect it.
ReplyDeleteI do not like my personal data being shared with anyone but myself. My private information stored in my phone shouldn't be shared with any person. If my information gets leaked, it can put me in danger or someone around me. We shouldn't have to live our lives in fear because of a little information being leaked. Privacy shouldn't be a luxury, but something everyone deserves.
ReplyDeleteNo, i am not okay with my personal life and data being shared out to the world without my permission and me not knowing. The personal information that is on my phone or any electronic device that I use Is only for myself. If someone's private information ever got leaked out it can be harmful and dangerous not only to yourself but the people around you that you are close with and family. People today should not be nervous about where there private and personal information is. It's the company's job to protect it.
ReplyDeleteNo, I am not okay with my personal information being shared around. I feel like this is an invasion of privacy. No one should be able to access my persona data (my phone number, address etc) because there are creeps in the world and you can never be too careful when it come to this type of information.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm not ok with companies knowing my personal information and it being shared around. Only I should be allowed to see my personal information, no one else. This can lead to very dangerous things, like stalking, kidnapping, violence, stealing and sexual violence. You have to be careful when it comes to sharing information.
ReplyDeleteof course i'm not OK with my personal information being shared. Sharing personal is very dangers this strangers/stranger can find out where i live/ go to school, my phone number, and more. This can lead to kidnapping, robbery and it can also affect my family. I wouldn't be safe and i should not feel like that.

ReplyDeleteNo, not under any circumstances am I ok with my information being shared. When your information is just accessible to anyone it could lead to a lot of problems. Your identity could get stolen, which could lead to someone having complete access to your Social Security number, birth date, residential address, driver’s license number, bank account number, credit card number, passport number and more. Plus you never really know what this person wants to do with information, they could not only hurt you but others around you.... family, friends etc.
