Yes, I would like more privacy online, our data are too visible and too many companies cheat and sell our data.

I haven;t had any problems like that yet but it might not be sise to reveal private information that can be misused.

I think there is nothing I can do, because I have Facebook, and Instagram and both aren't that private. However there are some steps I can take from suffering of all above and I can set up my accounts so they can be more secure.

Before we had the internet I think we had more privacy. Now the whole world knows what you are doing. I avoid posting too much of personal details online to avoid getting scammed.

With so many people shopping online and giving their debit/credit card numbers it is a haven for scammers and other crooks. The best preventative medicine for online invasion of privacy is to not use it for purchases or to give your personal information to anyone. Old school is still the best school.

not so.They still can get your SS number there.That is all they want your ID . Does not matter if your rich or poor.Stolen ID is on the rise.
