Social Networks are getting scary: Part II
Once again, I have freedom to speak my mind
I loved using social networks until I got scared of it. I tweeted/shared everything. From what I am reading to which political party I support. One day, it struck to my mind that each tweet/post is a dot and if you connect all the dots then important pattern about me could be revealed. If somebody/organization/government analyzes all my tweets/posts, then he/she/it could easily tell who I am, what I do, what I think, and certainly a stronger algorithm could also accurately predict what sort of the person I am and even predict my future. These possibilities are serious breach in my privacy. It led me be really careful to share my opinion in the social networks because repercussions could be terrible. Now I use social networks only for marketing purpose and sharing trivial things such as what I am eating, which place I am in etc. Therefore, I feel social networks lost their power to give people to be who they naturally are.
But, I do want to share my opinions. I do want to disagree with the governments and I do want to endorse good opinions. I want to be free. I don’t think any of the social networks allow me to be free without having to worry about the consequences. The biggest threat of all is that the government tapping on everything I say. Perhaps, it must be only me who is so concerned about people or organizations peeping and analyzing my digital history.
I believe freedom should be fearless. I believe broadcasting should be without consequences. I believe everybody should live in the moment without worrying about the past or the future.
