First of all, why is our information being bought and sold at will? According to People's Daily's Summary, there are these 9 ways people's information can be leaked.

First: Tickets, airfare, and logistics slips on courier packages contain your personal privacy, so don't throw them away.

Second: In the microblogging or circle of friends, some comments or retweets will appear, such as name, title and other information, this interaction should pay attention to protect privacy.

Third: QQ mailboxes show QQ numbers, and lawbreakers can get information about netizens from personal data, space and other channels, so don't leave your mailboxes at will, and you can change the QQ number in your QQ mailbox address to another user name.

Fourth: Filling in personal information (name, cell phone number, address, school, etc.) truthfully in social accounts will be targeted by people with ulterior motives, so be careful to fill in identity information.

Fifth: Businesses are invited to fill out "surveys," which generally require contact information and addresses, so be careful.

Sixth: online resume generally have ID number, address, contact information and other detailed personal information, to do not give the resume to others.

Seventh: all kinds of test registration, job interviews, etc., often copy the information with personal information, some print stores will secretly stay in the resale, after copying the information, make sure to delete the personal data.

Eighth: many businesses through the cell phone client positioning users, push goods or services, the user is "real-time" monitoring, here to remind, unnecessary positioning services to turn off.

Ninth: The level of encryption of the wireless network login is low, coupled with the lack of data protection measures in some cell phone software, allowing hackers to intercept personal information, free WiFi do not log in or log in with caution.

I'm not going to discuss whether Baidu sells information or not, and I don't think it's possible to respond that it does even if it does. But it's clear that our personal information is being sold in a big way, and this must be an undeniable fact. It may not be Baidu, it may be other companies, and banks, real estate agents and so on, who all play a very important role in this.

Baidu CEO Robin Li said: Chinese people are more open, or less sensitive to privacy issues, if they are willing to trade privacy for convenience or efficiency, in many cases they are willing to do so. For Mr. Li's statement, there is nothing wrong with it, I can't refute it, from the moment I access the Internet, I may not have privacy, for example, if I want to take a taxi, I need to share my own map location; if I want to go shopping, I need to fill in my own shipping address; if I want to take out a loan, I need to fill in my own income and marital and smoking situation. These, are normal.

But the point is, there is a correspondence between these privacy. If an Internet company sells the information it collects from me to a third party, it's a complete departure from the original intent of "benefiting the owner," and it's not "if I'm willing to trade my privacy for convenience or efficiency," but rather, it's sold to a third party and becomes a source of harassment. It is not "if I am willing to trade my privacy for convenience or efficiency", but if this information is sold to a third party and becomes a source of harassment, I am "not willing to do so"! So I'm helpless, I'm outraged, and I'm not shocked!
