Privacy

Privacy is something that I don't worry much about.  I understand that my online activity is being tracked, but I don't mind since I am doing nothing wrong.  I feel the same way about cell phone companies selling my information.  The article even said it is not information to identify us, only to target advertising to customers.  I am always ok with something making my life easier, especially when it comes to shopping.  I do take extra steps when it comes to my social media sites.  On facebook I check the privacy settings once a week to make sure nothing has changed.  I make sure everything is set to either friends only or friends of friends, depending what the content is.  I make sure I never post if I am going out of town for any reason and I turn my GPS off when traveling and posting to facebook since it displays your location.  As far as apps are concerned, I am very picky about what I will download to my phone or tablet.  I make sure to read the information about what they are allowed and not allowed to do.  I do not like when it says that it can take my contacts information or mess with the content on my external memory card.  As far as whether or not we should be concerned about our privacy, I do not think so as long as you are using it properly.  I feel the government is involved to help monitor and keep things safe so I do not mind them prying a little.
