When it comes to the internet and any online app, there’s no privacy. Instagram, twitter, Snapchach, etc. Once we post something, it’s not ours anymore. It belongs to the internet. Constantly every time we download an app that’s linked to te internet it always aks us if we would like to share our contacts, music, gallery and so on. Once we accepted, what was once ours is now a part of the internet. Google knows us and eveything we search for; including what we once deleted. Google still keeps in a hidden file what we have deleted in our searches. Every social media app keeps track of everyhing we do. Facebook let’s everyone see our friends, where we went to school, how old we are. There is no provacy whatsoever unless we ask for it. I have downloaded an app that keeps track of what I search for that shows how many websites are activated while im researching for something online. The app is called Disconect.me.

As weird as it sounds, when we look up something on the web someone around the world is looking at what we are doing. Having privacy on the internet is a very hard thing to achieve. There has been numerous cases and theories of Google and how it listens to you as ou go about your day. It archives what you are saying so when you go its browser, artiles will show up about things you have said. The famous Alexa that pretty much know’s everything about us cause we talk to ever every single day. Privacy isnt even a right anymore when it comes to the World Wide Web.

The first sight that immediatly blew up with a big number was Google. When I searched for it 35 websites were activaded. The more I researched things, the higher the number go. Right now writing this it says there is 17 websites activated on WordPress . On my class website Inf103 there were 29 websited activated. Although, when I went to fairly popular websites like Youtube or Instagram, there weren’t any sites activated which I found interesting.

Be careful of what you search for and be careful when an app asks you to have your contact information and have access to your gallery. The internet isnt a bad place, but it is a place where everything stays in it forever once you post it. Inform yourself of these things so know what your putting out there for thw world to see. Be aware of what information you give certain apps and if they are trust worthy of your personal infromation.
