beta theta data

Online privacy has been an ongoing issue that is growing more every day with the expansion of the internet. Thanks to social media it seems the line of privacy is getting more and more blurred.  There is also the increasing use of online facebook quizzes. In the article "Facebook quizzes: What really happens to your data" there is an interview and a few question that talks about how your data is used. One of these interviewees states that the quiz only uses your data for the quiz. This may be true for some, but is it true for all. It seems people have become too free with the information about themselves. The data that sites like these may or may not be collecting is very privet. Regardless of what the information is being used for it is still an issue of privacy. Under our "about" page we post our age, family, gender, relationship status, family, and all sorts of data. Would do freely hand this to some stranger in the street? Much more, why would you freely give all this data about oneself to a faceless entity?
