I believe that this statement is partially true, but at the same time people should be able to do what ever they want without holding back to the idea that they are being watched. Just like we have personal and private things in the real world, the same should apply when being involved in the internet. With the development of internet technologies it makes it very easy for people to access information about anything and anyone. Many people feel as if our information is not safe on online websites as they are sold and used by other companies as marketing tools for commercial trends.

People should have the freedom to do what they like and not have to worry about other people accessing information that is private. The internet is not meant to be a tool for the invasion of privacy but yet it is a gateway to information and communication. People should respect the privacy of individuals information but overall nothing is definite over the internet, therefore people should take precautions in carefully choosing what information to share over the internet to put themselves in a situation where it can be used to their disadvantage.
