Betrayal in Internet

Our habit of depending on Internet places us in a very awkward dilemma. We often reluctant to whether trust or not to trust certain website but the temptation they offer are so great that we sometimes have to give up our attentiveness.

ABC's Media Report (2008) has also raised concerns about the credibility of certain websites that give us access to information we need, but in the process, we collect our data for usages not readily known to us.

Example of Google Search

We do not need to attempt far to see how the data is being used against us. All you need to do is by doing a quick search with the famous search engine, Google. You will see a list of relevant websites that appear below the results of your search.
