Today’s topic is going to be little serious.As you know well, nowadays there are a lot of serious problems about ‘Privacy’ on the Internet.
According to the report “Teens, Privacy and Online Social Networks” teens are tend to hide themselves on the Internet by using a fake profile. I think that’s a good idea
Also in my home country, the Cyworld(I said before) users have a tool which can protect themselves from an indiscreet exposure.
“1 chon” is the grouping tool. By using this we can group friends like this; one group can see our whole information and pictures and the other can’t. Furthermore who are not form a relationship ‘1 chon’ they can not see my whole information and pictures.
Isn’t it cool? It is an intelligent tool to protect our privacy.
However, few years ago there was a fatal event occurred in the Cyworld. A famous Korean announcer JW Park had security breach in her home page. She already grouped people by using ‘1 chon’ but someone did hacking and spread out her pictures. In her home page there were a lot of pictures taken with her boyfriend. Which are little bit loud but it doesn’t matter in the individual manner.
However, she retired as announcer because Korean mores and norms tell us not to be loud as a public man (including celebrities.) 
(she had her eyes swollen with tear because of this event) →
What a pity! I had sympathy for her.
According to this sad story, what should we do when we are on the Internet?
Now is the time to regulate the acting which threats one’s privacy on the Internet.
