The privacy between seven people exposed the "trust crisis". And when our privacy is exposed to thousands of people? Not long ago, the privacy scandal exposed by Facebook once again aroused people's concern about privacy in the era of "big data".
In the wave of the times, the trend of "big data" is unstoppable. If we want to live more conveniently, we have to use privacy as a bargaining chip in exchange for more convenient services. We will provide our personal information and preferences to the network, which will undoubtedly enable operators to provide us with more "personalized" services. However, when we enjoy these convenient services, what will happen to our privacy behind the screen? A long time ago, I saw a news that a merchant sold users' personal information at a price of 50 cents/piece. At that time, it didn't seem to cause great repercussions, because only the basic information such as the user's ID card information was provided. Nowadays, under the wave of "big data", everyone's privacy space is shrinking bit by bit. Only by relying on Internet technology can you roughly judge your personality, taste, style and so on. The bottom line of users' invasion of privacy is also retreating a little bit. This is undoubtedly a kind of "technical kidnapping". Some people who have been "kidnapped" are ignorant and some are helpless.
? While we enjoy all kinds of "convenient" services, operators are also asking for returns from us. Whenever we surf the Internet, there are overwhelming advertisements on the Internet. And some of these advertisements come from our data analysis. It is understandable for operators to advertise for profit, but too many advertisements related to business and personal privacy have to be worrying.
? In this era of "big data", everyone is divided into several small pieces, and each small piece contains all kinds of information related to us, which is stored in a huge data network, much like the quantum fleet in "Three-body". Under this trend, the perceptual elements are being erased little by little, leaving only rational analysis. Everyone's characteristics as a person are also disappearing a little bit, and what can best reflect this characteristic of "people" is emotion and thinking. Privacy is the umbrella of emotion. Without privacy, it is difficult to express our true feelings. In the future, people may not rely so much on face-to-face communication, but more on one data after another: this person's height and weight, how big shoes he wears, what kind of restaurant he likes to go to, how many times he has been there, what style of clothes he likes to buy, how many times he has been on the train or plane, and so on. It makes people feel a little dazzling and a little chilling.
? Most of our privacy is kept or enjoyed by operators, so network security is extremely important at this moment. Once hackers or viruses invade, our privacy is in danger of being leaked. How to better protect our personal privacy? It is necessary for each of us to think seriously. Can we reduce the leakage of privacy by reducing the frequency and types of APP use? Or simply don't use the internet?
? Although the storm of Facebook has passed for some time, how to face the privacy problem in the era of "big data" will not weaken with the retreat of the storm, but will become more and more prominent.
