Don't Let the New World Scare You

The future is here. We've made it this far, and there's no turning back now.

We must embrace our new reality and understand that changes like these are inevitable in a world where
technology is thriving. The best way to do this is by not being afraid of the unknown—by not shying away
from new ideas and innovations but rather being curious about what they could mean for us in the long
run.

If you keep an open mind, you'll be able to see past all the alarmist headlines about digital privacy and
realize that these advancements aren't all bad news. In truth, they may actually help us gain control over
our personal lives more than we ever thought possible!

Sure, there's a lot of bad news about privacy these days, but there are also good signs that things will
improve.

It's hard to see the forest for the trees regarding online privacy. Between Facebook and Google, you can't
scroll through your feed without seeing a story about a data breach or something nefarious being done
with your personal information. You might be feeling like we're at a dark place in terms of data security,
but some bright spots show things could be getting better soon.

Federal laws will change, so they protect you more. Companies are also starting to realize that they need
to do better by their customers, not just themselves—and this will help keep your data safe from privacy
violations and unethical use. New technologies like blockchain and encryption will also help companies
have more control over how they collect and store users' information than ever before.

Don't despair. It's going to be okay!

What About Privacy Now?

We've covered a lot of ground in this article, and protecting your privacy can feel overwhelming. What do
you do?

First, take a breath. There are a lot of things going on with privacy right now that might seem scary to
you, but remember that there is a lot of good news too. Second, find reputable security and privacy
companies like Internxt to help you protect your data until we all come together to build a safer, better
internet.

Online privacy's future, especially concerning the right to privacy, will continue to be a hotly debated topic.
In the current age where social media and big data are constantly growing, and more and more of the
activities we engage in online can be monitored and analyzed by those who are observing us, the big
question will continue to remain—how do we protect our rights to privacy and freedom?
