and what about privacy?

Mnet has a information privacy section, that explains how new technologies have created challenges for the protection of personal information, and provides an overview of the ways in which online marketing affects children's privacy.

Why is Information Privacy an issue?

Privacy is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of a democratic
society. It lies at the foundation of the rule of law, the secret ballot,
doctor-patient confidentiality, lawyer-client privilege, the notion of private
property, and the value our society places on the autonomy of the
individual.
