The personal information of many individuals is held by large internet companies and organizations. Do you think the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

In recent days, large internet corporations and institutions

. I believe

this

condition creates more disadvantages compared to the advantages. First of all, the positive points that we have if our info is being stored by organisations and internet companies are,

it

However

This

For example

leaking several times. The

was

sold anonymously in a black market at a very expensive price.

Hence

, people whose

data

are scattered more often will receive spam on their mobile phones or emails.

Moreover

, in the era of social media, people

also

will experience more cybercrime cases especially when it is not only personal information provided but

also

combined with their photo. The perpetrators will use all of

this

advice to start profiling their victims.

For example

, sexual harassment through social media is rising recently and the perpetrators are very professional and make their victims believe in them because they know all of their information.

Then

, it is important to keep your account private and not trust people that you meet through social media easily. In conclusion, even though it is efficient for us to have our

data

stored by some corporations or institutions, the chance of being a victim of cyber crimes is bigger than merely being efficient.
