The readings for this week, as well as everybody’s posts got me thinking and wondering about how much I do online is being watched? We have discussed in class already that future employers can log into our facebook and twitter accounts to see what are activity online says about us. This alone gets me worried about invasion of privacy, but if someone could actually see my whole internet history that would really freak me out. I understand in today’s world, with this amount of technology at everyone’s disposable, people in government can easily see into our everyday lives. However, I feel that this technology needs restrictions on how we can use it to spy on other people. It is one thing to look at the internet activity at a suspected criminal, but to look at the activity of someone who watches movies online instead of buying them, seems a little much for me. This technology should only be used in cases where it can prevent a crime, not just to check in on people. Additonally, as I mentioned in class, I think what we do online does not really say a lot about us as people. I may post pictures of me out partying with my friends, but that does not mean I will miss work, or be more likely to do illigeal things than somebody who stays at home on the weekend. I act differently at work than I do in my social life. I may be a little bit of a risk taker in my social life but that does not mean I will do the same at my job. Seriously, I think our government needs to start coming up with ways to protect our privacy online instead of coming up with ways on how to infringe on our privacy.
