Privacy on the Internet.

Since when growing popularity of social networking sites, from time to time encounter incitement to boycott them. The problem turns out to be the matter of privacy.Recently, this applies to Facebook.
Such a boycott is the result of ignorance of users. They do not realize they are in fact the case that if a person sends something to the Internet, taking the risk that this material will be available to the public for other people. Privacy on the Internet is in fact an illusion. We must learn once and for all that our privacy depends on us.
If served anywhere on the Internet, in any form, certain information which may be interconnected, it is a risk that this will happen. The problem with privacy is primarily in the fact that on the one hand we want to ensure that our friends can find us on the Internet, say the name and surname, on the other hand, we have some reason to be ashamed of, for example, your number Messenger / ICQ, and not give him to the public.
Therefore, users should be educated.
When you publish your data anywhere: whether in the social networking site, or forum, or even via e-mail by signing your name and making public their data. Users should be aware of this, and if they cry, for example, that gave your phone number, they should themselves bear the consequences of their ignorance.
By protecting your privacy on the Internet, we must also reckon with the fact that our identity will not be recognizable. It all depends on how we treat their actions and how we treat other people. If you are ashamed of anything we say publicly, it's actually better to remain anonymous, or even the Internet does not provide. However, if you want to be in some way, recognizable and paired it will be difficult for us to keep your privacy 100%.

Therefore, the best solution is to maintain a greater distance, both to the whole panic about privacy, and to move it's head before publishing any information on the Internet.The problem lies in the lack of awareness of the user who is then himself guilty of the fact that it may run the risk of identity theft.
