Does Going Online End Your Privacy?

In my #Mco435 social media class we were discussing privacy and how it relates to social media. First off, what is privacy? What denotes a thing, place, act or even a person as being private? And who has the right to create this definition or criterion? These are all very important questions because they play a major role in drawing the lines between what “is” and what “is not” considered private in the online world.

IS: Privacy, in my own opinion of course, is any and every thing someone doesn’t desire to disclose with others. Privacy is a God-given right, just as is freedom and equality. People have the right to keep information about themselves solely to themselves or only to whomever they prefer and others do not have the right to invade his or her privacy without that person’s consent.

IS NOT: Well, this would seem simple, wouldn’t it? If privacy means all the things you prefer to keep to yourself, then anything you disclose to others and the world is not private
