Living with Invasion of Privacy

Manabu Ozawa from Japan

loss of privacy online

I've been getting used to living with invasion of privacy. I never feel like Big Brother is watching me, but once I write or show my personal information, I know it is no longer private and confidential.

As far as I know, many people are unaware of this as a problem. We know this is reality, and also we know many companies want our private information. For example, if I sign up on some web page, I know I will receive junk mail soon after although the web page said they would never give out any information about me

All I can do is just make a filter on the e-mail program to prevent receiving it again and then forget about it. I know indifference or unawareness is one of the worst attitudes. I tend to lose sense of civil liberties. We have to protect our rights, but I'm too accustomed to invasion of privacy.
