Journal: The right of privacy on the Internet.

The purpose of this report is to deal with one of the main concerns of people as regarding everybody's right to privacy. This right, is unfortunatelly loosing space in our life and it is principally threaten by the advances of technology. Within them, the one which can go against our privacy the most, is the use of Internet.
From opennig a new e-mail account to register in a web page, we are almost always ask for information while surfing the Net. It is well known that for many type of Internet working people are allowd to use a nick name but for many others your real identity must necessarily be revealed. It would appear that all your personal infromation is safely manipulated although it has been proved that any common hacker can have acces to it. This would mean that everything you post on the Internet can be read by others. And to do this, does not imply too much effort or the need of high technological backgroung knowledge by the ones who spend time on computers to look at data without permission.
One of the main issues arises when you are ask for example, your credit card number. Using the Internet to buy and sell things have increasily become a current way of trading. And almost all the companies which commercialize through the Internet ask you for personal information which must necessarily be truth. The majority of them assures you that everything would be kept in privacy but it has been recently proved how much easier is the Internet making the work of bank account's theaves.
Action has been taken to deal with these kind of problems. There are policies and laws in existance which main concern is to prevent hackers' work. The problem is that as well as new measures arise, new technology advances arises too, providing Internet theaves with new tools and ways of stealing. So unforutunatelly, we would appear to be in front of a non-stopping problem. There is a consensus of opinion regarding the necessity of greater personal information protection from part of the companies which ask you for data. First of all they should be requested by law to increase security acces to their data basis as well as leave crucial information such as ID number, credit card number and account information to be ask to their customers in a more personal way. Maybe by phone, or even face to face.
Considerations should be given to this problem so as to provide Internet users a more safe feeling towards it. Government and Internet companies should work together on this. They must find the way to reach to the introduction of greater controls on the use of Internet that can endager privacy, and stricter laws against the stealing of private infromation through it.
