THIS IS MY POST

After reading Hess's article on "How Privacy Became a Commodity for the Rich and Powerful." Hess clarified important points and matters in his article. However, in general, I cannot entirely agree with him by saying "that privacy has become a privilege." the particular reason for this that Everyone can be exposed to a breach of privacy. On your phone, when you register on a specific site, and you agree to all the terms of the site without knowing what the terms and laws are. Most of the time, you have no choice but to agree to the terms of the site to be able to use the site or the application;  The rich and famous are more prone to breaching privacy because they may be the hacker group's target to steal quick information and sell it or steal bank accounts, for example. No one enjoys complete privacy, as their privacy is always sold through many sites for other companies to benefit from its advertisements. Moreover, the rich and powerful have more concern for their privacy than ordinary people because they have more secret matters, so they pay much money to protect their privacy or delete things that belong to them on the Internet. In conclusion, the attempt to preserve our privacy has become a complicated matter. As we are exposed from all sides, a large percentage of sites collect our information daily, and they may have information about us that even we do not know about it.

I NEED RESPONE FOR THIS POST

I do agree with Hess’s claim that privacy has become a privilege, one that the rich and powerful can afford or demand. I agree with her because people like you and I who are not rich and famous have little to no privacy. For instance, when I was in junior high school my principal at the time had a secret or two. This boy at the school swore up and down that he knew her from somewhere. He remembered seeing her online and nobody could find out from where until one day this kid remembered. He came back to school and showered everyone a video of our principal on a porn site. As we can all assume that other teachers and people in the district found out which later on she was fired or re located. If she was rich and powerful she could of paid money to make sure her videos would not see the light of day ever again but since she was not her videos resurfaced. On another hand when we use a website, app, or need to update our softwares and etc. we are always promoted to read “Terms and Conditions” majority of us scroll down and click “Accept” without reading anything which is partially our fault but blame is also to these businesses because they make them super lengthy to the point no one wants to spend time reading them.
