Privacy is a term that has been forgotten in the midst of the technological revolution.
And many may think it has started now, with the NSA and the digital espionage case globally, but no, businesses and governments have always tended to. Data collection is important, but to what extent?
A practical example of the end of privacy is the “Google Maps”With the user’s location history. As you can see on the map above, Google will be able to know what steps to take during a selected day. In principle, only the user (supposedly the owner of the information) and Google will be able to access that location information. But is it not shared with any other security agency !?
Do you want to know where you were on a particular day? Click the link. So Google knows where they were last summer, so it’s easy to know what they did…
The good part is that to know the location, Google needs users to agree to be crawled. On your phone or tablet Android you will find the option to disable the location. On the other hand, the entire location history can be erased, starting from the link given above.
