The Privacy is something on the past In this times where technology and internet is everything many things have been changing, this is because much of the things we do have being check by the government or by the companies, for example Hotmail or Gmail. This companies constantly are searching for mail that implicate a danger for a city or the government so most of your info is always going to be on someone else eyes. This means anything that you do throw internet is going to be watch so they now what are you doing in your computers, then they know anything on your bank accounts, for example how much you win, how much you spend, etc. Then some governments will start to ask for you messages and histories on the internet so they can know who could be a possible danger. What is privacy? Privacy is a state or condition to be free and not been checked or bothered by anybody. What is Internet privacy? Internet privacy is the right or order of personal privacy in the storage on your computer. Having the right to use the internet, search for anything you want without being watch and spied by anybody. This two terms are nearly eradicated on the internet part of our life, this means that many of our life we dont have privacy. Some examples of this would be in countries like Ecuador. The government in the country is trying to get a law that make it possible that the government can have all of the history and anything you do in the internet. The reason that they are doing this is because they have always the fear that they are planning to overtake the government or do something that could affect them. This is a total violation to the rights but because the government have some much power in the country they did not care about this. This law is not steel in place because the people and companies opposed so it needs to pass throw other process so it can be on law. By this the government can also see your bank account meaning that they will know how much money you are spending and how much income you are having when that information is something personal that not even the government should know. The government does this so they can know how much you win and because this is a socialist country they will want to know all about your income. If you have a big income the government will start to charge you more taxes and will start to give you more problems so you start to lose that money, then they will star to investigate were you work and why do you win that money. This is a complete violation to privacy because you have the right to win any amount of money if its legal, the laws does not have any strict order that the government have any access of this. Then there is the companies that helps with services like mail, instant messaging, etc. This companies have a do watch all of your information and mails that you send. Many of this companies are programed to check your mails so they can check that they dont have any dangerous message that could have a negative effect on any nation. Then

they sell your info in web pages like in Facebook, they sell things like what you like to do, what you like to see, what you like, to eat, etc. If you have money in one type of bank they will start to give your information like your mail, telephone number and the basic information. How the banks gets this information. They pay the banks to get this information of their clients, there for they will start to buy their products. This is an evasion of privacy because there will start to call you or start to get mails from this companies offering their products. This becomes really insecure because they could start to track you if it goes to the hands of someone that wants to harm you. This can start to become dangerous because the can get your address only by getting your numbers. One of the biggest internet privacy evasion is when the people in the internet company can track you, so any were you are the companies will know from where you connected, so the place street city everything. This is partly good because when you get hacked you know where is he hacking you from and could eventually stop him. But if you are not doing anything illegal they will also know what are you doing and the direction. If this information gets seen by a strange person they could eventually track you and go to your house and do whatever with those directions making you be on a dangerous situation. Using a smart phone has also a really big danger for many reasons. When you have Facebook on that phone you have the option to show your location, but many of those time you dont notice that and for every message you send it will tell the other person where you at are. This is really evading your privacy because when you do click on that address that shows in the phone you will get a satellite image of your house, then the people can see how big your house is how many cars you have, etc. Finding out how much money you have approximately and making you a pray for and burglar depending in the map. Then it shows how to get to your house making it really easy to get there and plan anything the need to do to get in your house. Google maps, google earth or any of the systems that shows streets or address and have maps are not a good security system for the reason that anyone can know where is your house only with your address they can see anything, from a photo of your house to how man your address they can see anything, from a photo of your house to how many things you have etc. This can show anyone even how to get in your house because by knowing were t is and how big it is, they will start to go and check you and then they know at what time you are in your house and at what tike theres no one on it. In conclusion we can see by the arguments above that privacy is now a thing of the pass, the government has the information of anybody with their bank accounts, the incomes that you have, how much you spend an all of the information that should be personal and no one apart from you should have. Then we have the government with the typical fears trying to track everybody so theres no suspect that someone wants to overtake the government. The government is a big part of evading the privacy by

trying to get laws that can have any type of information of the people of their own country. Lastly the social networks are one of the biggest privacy avoiders of internet privacy as they can see any massage you see with who you speak, were are you writing from and much more, here we can see that what you think that no one can see is really nothing private, they will see anything you do, write, etc. Then the maps that show your location making it possible to track you and know where you are at what time and what are you doing. Making it possible for the stealers know anything about your house. This is why I believe that privacy is now thing of the pass that we cant have it back any more.
