Wikipedia defines Privacy as the ability of an individual or group to keep their lives and personal affairs out of the public view, or to control the flow of information about themselves. Privacy can also be seen as an aspect of security.
Wikipedia defines Internet Privacy as consist of privacy over the media of the inrenet: the ability to control what information one reveals about oneself over the internet and to control who can access the information.
I define Privacy and Internet Privacy as information for that person and only that person. So unless that person gives you the right to that information, everyone else should mind there own business.

The internet is full of people trying to get your username, password, or try to read your email, not giving a damn about your privacy. One of the main groups that invades our privacy on an everyday basis is our own government. The government feels that they should know anything and everything that occurs in our daily lives. What ever happen to the Fourth Amendment, saying that our privacy to our home, papers, and other information should be secure and not violated by anyone. Why have this amendment if the government is going to totally ignore it. The government invading our internet privacy has definitely increase after the September 11th attacks on our country. The government claims the the internet can be used by hate groups for recruiting, or for terrorist to coordinate, plan, and fund their attacks. In order to keep terrorist from planning another attack, the FBI has stepped up there internet and other surveillance. So you know what that means. No internet privacy for anyone what so ever. Now the government and FBI can see everything we do on the internet. if its chatting with friends on Myspace, or surfing the net, and even emailing your partner some sexy pictures of yourself, you can guarantee that the FBI has seen them, and its not fair at all. We aren't terrorist, so why should us Americans be violated. Its been six years since the 9/11 attacks, and the government is still invading our privacy. Its not about terrorist anymore, its about the government having control over every single thing we do.
Internet is the main electronic device that billions of people use to chat with one another and communicate with people all around the world. Everyone uses the internet, even children. So that brings me to the advantages of the government invading our privacy. The government has arrested and convicted so many sexual predators on the internet. The internet was the easiest was for predators to attack innocent children, and now the government has done something about it and all those disgusting predators are getting caught.

There are also devices that invades our software such as Spyware. Spyware is a computer software that collects personal information about users without their informed consent. Personal information is secretly recorded with a variety of tecniques, including logging keystrokes, recording internet web browsing, and scanning documents on the computers hard dick. Wow talk about invading our privacy. Spyware basically get access to all your net surfing and every site that you have been on. My old computer back home had caught spyware before. Its crazy because the computer started to go super slow and I couldn't download anything on it. Since the computer was already old we just threw it away and purchased another. Spyware is like a tick, it sticks to your computer and sucks the life out of it.
There is no such thing as privacy anymore. Just turn on your television or open up a magazine, and you will see some famous persons privacy being invaded. Can you imagine being famous and having people try to take pictures of every little thing you do, and try to get access of every site you check on the internet. Well guess what? Every American must be famous, besides the photo taking the government invades our internet privacy just as much as they invade famous peoples. You can now find cameras everywhere you go. Big or small, cameras is there looking right at you. So if you and your partner decides to do something sexual in a public place, there is a 90% chance that there is a camera recording everything. No matter what, our lives are invaded everyday. Our lives is like the movie "The Truman Show," always being recorded and invaded everyday, without us knowing, and definitely without our permission.
