Social media, geolocation and privacy, oh my!

Nicole L. Black highlights how our net activities are carefully monitored and
meticulously tracked by some of the biggest players, including Google, Amazon,
Apple, Microsoft and Facebook.

Our individual online footprints, from the Web sites we visit, the items we purchase, the people with whom we communicate, to the locations where we access the Internet, are extremely valuable commodities that are increasingly sought after.

  1. Awesome post lilDevil!

    I think you are spot on - our personal data is an extremely valuable commodity.

    I've wrestled with Facebook Privacy and written my own ebook on the subject - a Facebook Privacy Guide for Parents. It's up to us take make our own privacy choices and choose our settings accordingly.

    Thanks again for your post. http://www.PrivacyParents.com
