Privacy Pirates
[b][center]![]()
Do you ever feel like you are being watched?
Look at the camera in your phone right now, and tell me that you think that you are not.
If it can connect to something, it can connect to anywhere else.
For as much as we try to secure technology, we can't secure technology from ourselves.
The internet doesn't forget.
The funny or embarrassing stories linger until there isn't any space left.
The front door to your house used to remain closed and that was the end of it.
Now it's a gateway to let in those that are outside in, even those very dim of wit.
I would like to know that I can switch off, and when I convey something in confidence it stays secret.
For I have confided in many when I was public, and the betrayal of trust plays into my deepest regret.
Now give the key and the lock to someone who sees you like a number and needs only to push a key to make it stop.
The damage is done, and no one can erase a troll's fun when your heart drops and you shut down your laptop.
There are ways to do making things right, but all require time and money.
The chase of notifications and numbers is the drive behind those that take others' shame and make it funny.
The trade-off between being secure is creating this personality that is fake.
No matter how secure the device may be, remember always that technology breaks.
It's a jungle out there, and one of which you need to be aware.
Live the way that people back in the day were told to be careful with deals and wagers.
Think before you say, and don't do anything that will land you on the front page of the newspaper.
This is not to make you terrified, it is to open your eyes.
People can be seriously cruel and for some that don't have that fortitude, it can ruin their lives.
Research to separate the fact from reality, have some respect for yourself, and respect others' privacy.[/center][/b]
