What's wrong with the internet?

Somebody’s watching you: Social media and surveillance’ – MM52 p13

50 Word Summary:-

Social media can be considered as a ‘space’ in which people would like some privacy rather than being spied on by social media companies or the government. However,  having our privacy abused may be a small price to pay in order to have the uses and gratifications of the internet.

Critical Autonomy:-

In my opinion, I think that it is fair for social media companies such as Facebook are allowed to invade our privacy to gather information for advertising as with out this, the companies would not be able to make any profit in order to run these particular sites, therefore in due time, we would not be able to have any access to these sites. I also agree with the government needing to use our information as it is very important to protect society from potential terrorist threats and attacks. If you are not doing anything immoral or criminal related, there is no reason to be worried about the government having the ability to see your information as the government would not take interest in every single person's personal life.
