My digital identity

The web is an incredibly powerful and versatile tool; however, it is also extremely open. This is, however, something that people often forget - that whatever you publish on the internet, be that blogs, or anything, has an invisible audience: one which you do not, and cannot know about. But as people often forget about his, and publish aspects of their lives which they might not want potentially anyone to read. This makes the web something which can also be relatively dangerous; chatrooms, for example, can be accessed by anyone, and was how many paedophiles groomed their victims. Although this is a very extreme and rare case, there are other more common examples of the lack of web privacy; on Facebook, for example, if you are part of the London network, your profile can be viewed by anyone on that network, which currently has over 5 MILLION profiles.
