Privacy Online, Whats That?

    This article discusses how, when you are online, you have no privacy. Everytime you look something up, post a comment on Facebook, or click on an advertisement, you are being monitored. True, there are privacy settings on sites, but they really seem to make it very difficult. According to this article, "figuring out how to activate a site’s privacy control settings sometimes feel as if it requires a graduate degree in tiny print". Another good point that this article brings out, is how privacy is now a choice rather than a given.
