 * Lab 6 - Privacy**

What is privacy? The answer to this question can go in many different directions depending on the circumstances and the person. For instance, some people on Facebook have an utterly open profile, whereas some people are very private about the very many details on their profile. Hence, there are no generalized standards of privacy, especially on internet. Many Networking sites have provided their user with many privacy options to suit their needs; however, any information shared on those sites is not hidden from the site owner. For example, if one chose to share his/her phone number on Facebook and blocks his/her certain friends from seeing that information, it might be hidden from those certain friend but not from Facebook Site Company. Therefore, even with many privacy options available, these sites also have loop holes which can be problematic.

It is hard to predict what the future might hold in terms of privacy. However, in the past two decades privacy has been decreased by internet. For example, now individuals using twitter post almost everything they do in their day with their friends and before 2 decays ago only your personal diary would hold that kind of information.

Privacy is a need.
