Right to Privacy is Myth in this Digital Era

We can bring a change in society if everyone brings a small change in their mentality.

Yes, we are all into this electronically bounded world where we share our lives. People need to understand that theirs a fine line between fun and cheapness. No individual has a right to peak in privacy which is universally accepted. Women's suffer’s a lot and it's really awful to hear they aren’t safe on social platforms too. The idea of being virtually harassed blows my mind off.

A friend of mine aged around 30 was happily married posted her resume on LinkedIn. A guy texted her regarding job and they became friends. After some time he started to demand a video call. She refused and stated we are just friends. He abused and blackmailed to be his girlfriend or else he would contact her husband. She was brave enough to share everything to her husband and the guy was now unable to blackmail her.

A boy from Rajasthan contacted a girl on Facebook. He started to text her daily and she thought it was a normal chat. The guy started to talk vulgar things. She didn’t felt this right so she tried to stop him. Now he started to demand pics. She refused, he said that he would hack her account and misuse the account. She left Facebook and now she thinks its unsafe.

How could a person think in such a monstrous way. Now-a-days women is scared to use a social platform too. The mentality is the same just they have upgraded the level.

We should put an end to such a mentality. Its is only possible when we would understand that a women shares or talk to just to know different people. Their reply doesn’t mean that you get into their privacy and start demanding or ruining their life.
