There is an article telling a story about a teacher who got fired because
of facebook. I give you the link below. Her name is Ashley Payne, a 24 years
old public high school English teacher in Georgia. She uploaded summer
vacation’s picture where she was holding a glass of wine and a mug of beer.
Because of that, she was fired after a parent of her student complaining the
picture to the school’s principal. The really problem was, Payne actually had
used the privacy setting on Facebook so that she believed that her pictures
could be seen only by her closest friends. But the reality has confirmed the
other way around. Anyone who uses the Internet has to understand that our
private lives are no longer so private in the present day.
As we know, it is hard to keep our private lives in the Internet now. There
is always someway to track your Internet history. Tracking cookies and following
us in every move, advertitisers can figure out what to sell to us. We must consider
the fact that we only have two choices if we want to take part in the Internet.
We accept that our information is out there and try not to worry about it, or to
use some privacy protection tools to stay anonymous online. Check this following
link which provides the apps and services to help keep our private lives.
