PRIVACY MATTERS @ JODHPUR

Privacy Month is an initiative by Mozilla which is celebrated in the Month of January which aims to spread literacy about Internet Privacy and How we can keep ourselves away from the dark aspects of data theft.

Similar to the real world, The Internet world is also filled with thieves that steal our data and use it for different  purposes. But we Don't have any Lock in the world of internet to be safe from the thieves.

So we can use some Precaution measures to protect our privacy while accessing the internet.

Taking this as the primary goal, I, Rashya sharma , a Fsa Trainee and Club Lead conducted a small session based on Internet Privacy in my College to enrich the knowledge base of my fellow mates. 

I started the event by describing the attendees how they are tracked on the internet and how their  private data is used to make money.I described them how we , the , consumers are now turned into products that make profit.

Then moving on to privacy , I interacted with them asking what do they understand by data privacy and security.

I then suggested them to use DuckDuckgo Instead of ... umm(Big Names, Lets say X) X , to get maximum privacy and without the fear of being tracked.

Then a Question arouse from the attendies , " How can we Know who is tracking is? "

And I was Having The perfect answer for it :D..  " Use LIGHTBEAM ".I described them about Lightbeam and showed them its interactive and easy to use UI.

They were Very happy to see their trackers in such a graphical way.

We also had a discussion about TELEGRAM Messenger and its advantages.Answering each of the question was equally fun.The session was very interactive and educative.

It was equally appraised by the students as well as faculties.
