Somebody's watching you

Summary of the article
In Philadelphia, there has been an instance where webcams on the school-issued laptops were used to monitor students. Images that were downloaded included pupils in bed and 'partially dressed'. No one would've expected such outrageous behaviour. Daniel Trottier compares the digital space of social media to the private space of one's own bedroom. The default privacy setting of social media is that it is open for anyone to see, this is because social media platfroms are a business that strive to make a profit. Researchers were able to accurately infer a Facebook user's race, IQ, sexuality, substance use, personality or political views using the record of subjects and items they had liked.
Critical Autonomy
I think that issues where one's privacy is invaded or disrespected is a serious issue. Outside, in reality, majority of people are granted a common privacy which is generally accepted by other so why should online be any different. Personally, even though that I know myself that I use the internet appropriately, it still bothers me that people are tracking my online movements because it gives an uneasy feeling that someone out there is monitoring me. I feel that I should be entitled to privacy where I don't have to think that someone is watching me. I think that it is price that shouldn't paid by internet users. Why should people be monitored, establishments should understand that people are capable to behave well online and also to use the internet appropriately.
