 This article talks about how now the more stuff we post online of our lives, the less privacy we have. We have to take more precautions since scammers are always on the look out to get our private information and do horrible stuff with them.  This is a great problem that I am seeing in first hand since my friend's Instagram account was hacked and his personal information was stolen. We need to create better passwords for all our accounts. Not only this, but change them every couple of months for precautions.

 This article is discussing about how supposedly Google is changing its privacy policy and sent out a mass email to all their account users. Google said that they are not and will not sell their personal information to third parties. Their tactic to this is that they changed their terms and conditions on how they are going to provide companies with an integrated set of data. This does not mean that the personal information will be given, only the basics of all of us.

Article 3: There's A Difference Between Private and Personal  By: Drew Olanoff

 The article talks about how once you put something online such as Facebook, it is no longer private. It is now public to the world. Some journalist took a picture that the CEO of Facebook took and post on Facebook and the journalists used it on their article. This is saying that the picture is not public and not private. As well there is a controversy between the difference of private and personal. Private is defined as confined to or intended for people that are to be seen by such as close quarters friends and family. While Personal is defined as relating to, directed to or intended for a particular person. So when you share a picture to social media you are allowing personal friends to see them.
