Is there such thing as privacy when you are online? - Kayla - 12-08-2013 05:04 PM

I feel like we think that things are private,when really they can be dug up at any time,every little comment and every little thing that you watched or read or said online.

Honestly NO

for your average everyday user, no. Everything you do, everything you say, everything you type into the internet is being stored and cataloged somewhere else. Those saved files are then being backed up several times. So even if you go and delete what you've said, it's too late. It's already out there. Who has access to that info can be controlled, for the most part, but as far as you having your own privacy, no you do not. There are methods to mask your info, make it look like something else, or appear to not be there, but not very many people know how to do that.

Yes, to untrained people who just want to communicate.

No, to highly trained hackers and law enforcement, colleges.. Nothing on the Internet ever leaves..

Nope. Unless you use a VPN service.

I sometimes think yes because of passwords and using fake names etc, but then I remember IP addresses and how sly the government is. I like to live by the rule that everything I ever post online isn't something that would be utterly tragic if everyone found out. Just in case.

Yes There are On Facebook if you Use the Privacy Settings Correctly you Can Hide your Information

Even though sites say your details are private, you really don't know whether they use people's info or not. I don't feel there is such a thing as privacy online, unless you hide details or don't reveal some much info about yourself.
