"I have nothing to hide"

Online privacy has decreased more and more as years have progressed since privacy policies first starting having us click our rights away. No one reads privacy policies and if we did would be agree to them anyways? I think that we probably would anyways because everyone wants to stay connected on every aspect of social media. People say they have nothing to hide but everyone has something to hide. No one wants every little thing about them to be common knowledge. Although we post pictures and status updates on the web we expect them to be only for our friends or followers but when it becomes apparent that we are being watched that is when we start to fight back. The film we watched in class on Thursday showed multiple people who posted statuses on the web that red flagged them to be terrorist when in every instance it was a complete misunderstanding and a breech of privacy. We know we are being watch so why do we continue to post and upload every aspect of our personal lives? I think we give companies like Facebook and Twitter too much trust and they abuse it. Privacy policies have been changing within the past 15 years rapidly and with every new edition it seems that we are less protected, giving the companies and government more access to our information. I keep my privacy setting so only my friends can view what I post on Facebook but I don't believe that they are the only ones who have access to my information. We cannot be careless with what we post on the internet because there are always going to be people out there looking to use our own information against us.
