What is the impact of social media on the constitutional right to privacy?

The most perplexing impact that social media has on the right to privacy is the strange way people seem to be ready and willing to share so much of their private lives. Some argue that people don’t understand how much information is actually collected but I beg to differ. For some strange reason people want the world to know who they are. People have a need to feel special, different and unique. Or they seek approval of those that think or believe as they do. So to achieve this they openly share their lives. In order to claim a right to privacy you must act as if you want privacy. This is what social media, corporations, law enforcement, the governments and others need to respect. People should not be forced or secretly tracked to surrender privacy. By forced I means they should not be forced to,pay a higher price for not using a store loyalty card. That should be illegal. They should not be secretly tracked by the data markets. There should be an explicit law that requires the EXPLICIT written permission of the citizen for his information to be openly traded. And since the information is yours the citizen should be compensated a share of the selling price when his or her profile is sold. But again the citizen must conduct themselves as a person who whishes to remain private. We cannot fault Facebook if a person decides to share their lives online. What we should do is require social media companies to be more open about what they collect. More restrictive in what they sell and share. The willingness of people to share on social media does undermine the right to privacy (If there is such a thing. Big legal question there). In the future the right to privacy will be secured individually. Each person will have to act and make the effort to remain private In their personal space with assistance of new laws to empower them. So except for showing up on any one of a trillion cameras they will remain unknown to anyone they do not wish to be known to.

What are the biggest announcements from the Huawei developer Conference 2020?

On September 10, 2020, HMS Core 5.0 made its debut at the Huawei Developer Conference. At the conference, Mr. Zhang Ping'an, President of Huawei Consumer Cloud Service, delivered a keynote speech titled "Soaring to Greater Heights, Together with HMS." As he noted, the HMS ecosystem has ac

In an equally bold move, in 2013 the California legislature also addressed the broad concern of consumers who are being silently tracked by software over the Internet. Tracking tools used by social media are one of the ways these sites derive revenues, capturing user’s behavior and then selling targeted advertising designed to match or appeal to the type of behavior a specific user exhibits. Many sites use persistent beacons, cookies, and other tools that follow a person’s web usage and send information about that user’s visits and habits to the site or other third parties. Some Internet brows

I’ve been involved in privacy discussions.

First of all, the Constitution does not recognize* a right to privacy. But if it did, that right would only apply against the government, not against private actors.

There is a limited right to privacy against private actors who literally invade your privacy, e.g., break into your house to photograph your private papers or use a telephoto lens to photograph you in an area where you would normally expect privacy — for example your fenced back yard.

But people who sign up to for social media explicitly sign away their rights. It says so right in the “terms of use” that you agree to when you sign up to use the site. You have SOLD your right to privacy in return for the benefits of using the social media site.

Just remember one thing: when it comes to the web and especially social media, if it is free, then YOU are the product. YOU are being sold to other companies to get the money it takes to pay for the server farms, for the relay sites that will deliver the site’s pages faster than if the packets had to go all the way to the site’s own servers for the information, for the programming effort that goes into the sites, for the people who protect the site against Denial of Service attacks, and for the programmers who devise algorithms to keep the most “interesting” posts near the top (to keep you coming back) and to block spam and “hate speech” and such (ditto).

Yes, you have a right to privacy to a certain extent. But like most rights, you can sell it for money or for anything of value. The entertainment and other benefits (e.g., using Tinder to get laid) of using the site are “something of value” for this purpose.
