Is Privacy Over ?

Privacy issues are primarily concerned about personal information, that is, information that is about a particular person. With the increasing popularity of social networking through internet-mediated platforms, users often face the dilemma where they have to give up some personal information in order to gain access to full functionality. What we should concern about when we come across situations like this is how well protected is the information we provide and who are the subsequent intersted parties. In this paper, we will assess the importance of online privacy from an individual point of view as well as from a broader perspective where we look at consequential impacts of privacy loss to society.
