Bloom: Understanding

Answer:
The development of technology today had a great impact on the lives of many people. Instant
gratification, seamless experiences, cost savings, and greater insight are all advantages of digitization for
consumers, businesses, and governments. While these convenient and often free services reveal much
about us, our digital footprint does not. This massive public mesh network of data is being created by
social networks, mobile apps, self-quantification, and sensor networks. We may decide that some
inconveniences, such as the requirement to conduct business in cash, are worth it. We must not accept
that we cannot defend our individual liberties. We need to talk about where the line is drawn. According to
Wang (2013), The privacy myth is alive and well. We can choose to let privacy die, or not. We should
demand that businesses and governments offer both offline and online options. This may rebalance our
willingness to give up privacy for convenience and cost savings.
The widespread use of social media has changed the way Filipinos interact and communicate. Many
are “always on”. The Philippines is a networked culture, not an information society (Calblaza, 2015). This
change in ICT influenced the Filipinos privacy perception. The concept of privacy is not universal. Privacy is
hard to define because it varies by jurisdiction. Traditionally, privacy is defined as the right to be alone. It is
also defined as the right to be free from unwanted publicity or disclosure, and to live without unwarranted
public interference in matters that are not necessarily public. As a result, the state/government cannot
enter without a warrant into a person's house, office or any other place where they expect privacy (Magz,
2021).
However, technological advancements brought about informational privacy – the right to control
personal data. It refers to the ability to control who has access to personal information, such as contact
information and personal communications, as well as the contexts in which that information can be used.
