Ella's reflection

This news has recalled many people’s minds. They do not have any privacy in the Internet; people cannot control their privacy even they wanted to. Internet has broken the public and private sphere, its blur in the society. In this case, there are a big connection between facebook and Google. Both of them said that, they have tried hard to protect people’s privacy. In fact, what they can protect people is not that much. As the news has told us, it is a platform we sharing, we can only put one word and search much more that we want. Thus, is that the information linked to any privacy, maybe yes, but is that call private or public. We cannot control who are the audience, everyone can be the one.

Besides, Facebook is increasingly complex privacy settings for their customer, it sounds they can control their privacy, to have the impression management and identity issues. Such as, I can show this picture for merely one or two friends. Yet, Facebook maker is the one who control, not customer. The merely one things that people can control their privacy is that they can choose what to upload or download. People are a subject that can have a part of control of their privacy in the Internet.

The Internet is no privacy, the entire private will become public when you upload something or do something in the web. There are many invisible audiences and it is hard to manage. Thus people are not the merely object in the society, because we can choose how to protect ourselves, so that we are also the subject, we need to know that we are going to protect by ourselves instead of any system of privacy which is provide by the web company.
