Facebook is Watching You! (part 5)


Yet most people probably aren't really concerned. Does the younger generation care, or even notice, the complete absence of privacy these days? It's the “new normal,” and as kids are brought up in a society where a lack of privacy is not only commonplace, but is encouraged, we will eventually see the gradual acceptance of these changes become complete ignorance of what rights we've lost. It all seems somewhat innocuous, but that's how all major changes are often implemented—a little bit at a time. The slow erosion of personal privacy will continue until it will eventually become impossible to secure our own privacy without living off-grid like the Amish. We could just go back to living without our smartphones if we truly want some privacy. At least we would start to have actual conversations again. The irony.
