What are your thoughts on online privacy? Should we be worried? Do you think that we should take more measures to be safe online  or is the current state good enough?

Right now, it isn't good enough, but it would be good to have it, but it's not possible!

The digital world is what it is, whether you like it or not!

There's a common saying in the IT world, you are connected or you are not. Every time you do something online, something is collected.

I personally think we should be very worried about the direction in which the future is heading in terms of online privacy.
One of the quotes that has stuck to me the most is regarding free services such as Facebook and Instagram.
