The Effects of the Loss of Privacy

Olumide Olugotun

The loss of privacy and anonymity's effects

Skills / Knowledge

  • Although privacy is a fundamental right, violation of that right can have other consequences which are worth preventing in themselves.
  • If you cannot have privacy or anonymity in the online world, your safety, your money and even your life can be at risk in the real world.
  • Loss of privacy also often leads to loss of autonomy and self determination, and while that can be detrimental for all of us, its effects are worst for those who are already at risk, socially excluded, or economically disadvantaged.
