Digital Privacy forms a circle around three sub-related categories; information privacy, communication privacy, and individual privacy. It is used to encourage advocacy on individual and consumer privacy rights in digital spheres and is typically used in opposition to the business practices of many e-marketers, businesses, and companies to collect and use information and data. Information Privacy is the idea that individuals should have the freedom or right to determine how their digital information may be collected and there are laws by the EU that dictate how information may be collected and used by companies. Communication Privacy is the idea that people should have the freedom or right to communicate info digitally with the assumption that their communications are secure. Individual Privacy is that individuals should not be bothered by unwanted info and that they can exist freely on the web.
My opinion on the article about digital privacy is, it makes the users of the web have a better control and easier way around the web which is full of hackers and what not. Also, with all the privacy’s involved the web is cleaner and more fun to use to communicate to who ever.
