Is Privacy Still Possible in the Digital Age?
See, in today's era of technology, everything has become possible, many people are very active on social media, you will see that some people are very happy in sharing many details of their life and they are also becoming more popular, some people are around me, some people are like this, some are like this, they have made it by rail or have done photography. And the followers of some people have also increased a lot, I have seen my account of many people growing, today their followers are almost more than 1 lakh. See, nowadays this application takes your data and gets more information about you, if you use any social media platform then they come to know what kind of content you like and where you live and also what kind of information they get about you. That's right, we all give them this information, we will know how to understand because if we see anything available to us for free, then we will get the product. Therefore, in this digital era, is it difficult or easy to keep your information private or secret?
See, if you want, anything is possible and in such a digital environment you can even make yourself disappear. I have seen many people who do not use any kind of social media, I also did not use it but now some time ago I also started using Instagram and the bad result of this is that I am scrolling through it for a long time and a lot of my time is also getting wasted on SMS, on which I hope some action is taken, if not today then tomorrow. See, if you want, you have a lot of options through which you can maintain your privacy. First of all, if you want to remain private on the internet, then do not use your real identity anywhere and even if you create a real account, do not give its information to anyone.
If you get caught up in the web of social media or other things, then you feel as if nothing is happening in your life and sometimes you get angry at yourself and it is possible that you too, after seeing people, think of trying some useless things and many times it happens that even without wanting to, you end up doing a lot of shopping which you do not even need but after seeing the things which are added on the reels, you feel that maybe you need it. It is not that difficult to keep yourself hidden from other people. If you want to do this, then you can do it easily and through such platforms, whatever information you have is kept confidential. If you use the internet, then you can use VPN, due to which your location cannot be detected and whatever you do, you do it by turning on the VPN, then in such a situation it becomes a little difficult to catch you.
If you use social media then you can create fake profiles through which you can investigate other people or you will get to know what is going on in their life if you want to collect such information otherwise the more you stay away from social media platforms the better it is as the less the company and other people will know about you the less people know about you the better it is for you. Look, nowadays the times have become very bad and many people do not even share their personal photos or other things because it can prove to be harmful for them and it does happen because many times it happens that photos of many girls or boys are taken from the internet and used in a wrong way and this causes a lot of damage to their character apart from all other things.
If you really want to protect your privacy then you should stay away from social media platforms and avoid doing things that reveal your real identity and you can maintain your privacy. Many people do not even share their voice here, they use voice changers and if they are sharing it with an unknown person then they can use emojis or they cannot show their face in the video. There are so many ways by which you can protect yourself in the online world. Never share your personal information with any unknown person as it can prove to be dangerous for you, so if you want to stay safe then it is all in your hands.

Even people who choose to stay off the internet aren’t anonymous how much more someone who’s comes online everyday. Or did we forget that all these apps and website collect our personal data in one way or the other?
It's hard to be anonymous these day's because we leave our digital footprint almost every where without knowing it
Nice article. But you need to accept the fact that social media has made so many millionaires. So if you choose to stay private, then you are not ready to join the movement yet. You are rather watching others make tons of money and probably contributing to their wealth.
For me just create a balance and garnish it with self-control and moderation!
I understand you are talking about data privacy, which has become a new "oil well" by these dudes extracting our data to provide information based on the availability they have gotten helping them to run ads or serve the public better, so as to grab your interest based on your data thereby generating money for themselves and also benefiting their partners ( content creators).
