个人信息的泄露与保护
As the Internet and digital technology become a bigger part of our lives, more of our data becomes publicly ready for use, leading to questions about privacy. So, how do we connect with the growing digital world without giving in the safety of our information and our right to privacy?
Imagine that you want to learn a new language. You search “Is German a difficult language?” on your phone. Then you read an article with advice on learning German. You use a search service to find German classes. It asks you to turn on location services to find classes near you. You click “accept”. Later, while you’re sending an email, an advertisement about a local language school teaching German pops up. You wonder how they’ve known. At all steps of your online activity, your phone and websites are collecting data and following your behavior online.

Many of us share our locations, travel plans, opinions, shopping interests and family photos online—as services like ordering a takeaway meal, booking a plane ticket or buying new clothes now take place online and require us to give out our data.
Every search you make, service you use, message you send and product you buy is part of your “digital footprint”: Companies and online platforms use this “footprint” to track exactly what you are doing, from what links you click on to how much time you spend on a website. From your online behavior, they can guess what you are interested in and what things you might want to buy. By selling your data or providing products aimed at your interests, companies can make big money.
Can you protect your data?
Sometimes our personal data is shared online with our agreement. However, our data often travels farther than we realize, and can be used in ways that we did not expect. We don’t even notice our personal data has been lost or shared without being allowed until the news about our data being leaked is reported in newspapers or on TV.
People begin to realize the possible dangers of sharing information online. As Internet users, it is important that we pay more attention to who collects our data, where it is stored and how it is used. As the ways in which we use the Internet continue to grow and change, we will need to stay informed and keep needing new laws and better information about how to protect ourselves.
