privacy isn’t optional and shouldn’t be the price we pay for going online…
there is no agreement over what constitutes private information. it varies among cultures, genders and individuals and it’s hard to argue for the value of privacy when people eagerly share so much achingly personal information on social media

in today’s world of near-constant digital visibility, having your own private space online is important and beneficial for multiple reasons. digital privacy enables us to decide who has access to our personal lives and to what extent, ensuring that we maintain some authenticity and individualism in a world that often pressures us to compare and conform. it helps create a healthy balance between our public and private selves, easing the constant strain of public scrutiny and safeguarding our self-esteem and mental well-being
