In the reading we follow a woman, Julia Antwan, and her findings on the privacy we give up and how to ultimately protect ourselves. Most people know the stereotype that Americans are lazy. How many of us have actually read the terms and conditions of a website that seemed so cool to join. According to Toronto York and University of Connecticut only 26% of people actually even open the terms and conditions. In that case do people really know what they are agreeing to? Although our society is going towards a direction that forces up to give up or privacy for the things that we enjoy, there are ways to still hold on to what we want to keep confidential. Steps such as using secure passwords or using tracker blocking software are ways to keep your information safe, especially reading the terms! It is important to keep yourself safe in today's world where it is very easy to track anyone physically and virtually. There can always be hope found in a horrible situation.
