Extract from Henry Bagdasarian’s article “6 Reasons Why I Think Data Privacy is Dead”
Data privacy used to be regarded as a basic right which no one really talked about because it was simple, expected, and guaranteed, but the Internet changed everything. As I observe the latest trends and news, I have a hard time reconciling consumer expectation of privacy with consumer behavior as they post so many personal information on social media. That said, I can’t fully blame the consumer as companies and regulators also bear the blame but I have come to believe that regardless of whose fault it is, sadly, data privacy is either dead or on cardiac arrest which will take a huge collective effort to save.
