The concept of digital privacy can be described as the protection of information about citizens who use digital media, such as some social media and websites, which are digital media. Digital privacy is equivalent to the personal privacy of citizens on the Internet. In the age of digital information, many people are most concerned and worried about the security of their personal data. However, in the current network environment, the protection of personal privacy is not perfect, and there are even big loopholes. In fact, using unfamiliar Wi-Fi outdoor for work or entertainment can leave a digital trail on the network. Such traces can lead to personal privacy leaks and such vulnerabilities can easily be used by some people to do bad things.

Although, cyber security experts strive to help computer users protect personal information. But hacking techniques are also advancing and it is difficult to go for very tight protection. Even now, many cell phone software is forcibly collecting the personal information of users. This has led to a distrust of the Internet by many citizens. The debate over digital privacy is slowly diminishing as technology advances. The reason for this is that some users believe in advanced technology and the company’s commitment. A very large percentage of users also do so because there is no way to leave the network and they are forced to accept and trust that their privacy will not be compromised. At the same time, many users on the Internet are not aware of the need to protect their digital information awareness.

With the development of mobile Internet including 5G technology, it is absolute that people’s information is leaked. Therefore, we must first be prepared for this idea. Internet data development is getting better and better, and the means of collecting, organizing, analyzing, and predicting user data in information system services are getting more and more mature. For example, a woman often searches for information about cosmetics, and her phone will often push cosmetics ads to her. Also if one type of video is often watched on TikTok, it will push related videos to the user. This situation is a disguised leakage of personal information. But most users choose to accept it because it improves their online experience. In the face of such a situation, first of all, the protection of digital data must be continuously improved. And secondly, the relevant laws must be improved. Finally, citizens should also be aware of self-prevention and not disclose privacy on their own.

To conclude, in the face of the online environment, users must protect their personal privacy. When users find out that their personal privacy has been compromised, the user must use the law to protect themselves.

First Comment:

I think Jiaxin’s point of view is very similar to mine, and she found some problems that I did find. For example, she believes that users can use the Internet to build good social relationships with others and to communicate about their studies and work, all of which are beneficial to the development and convenience of users in all aspects. However, I am more answering the question of data privacy for users. So all in all, we both found different focuses in our articles, but the direction of thinking is the same.

Jingjing’s article shows that technology is evolving faster and faster, and that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, such as the unity of continuity for residents and visitors. I think that is a good point and even gives me a good idea. Then, the questions in her wonder were the ones I focused on answering in my showcase.
