Safety on Personal Information

In today's society, there are several problems of hacking, major companies losing personal data, or usernames and passwords being stolen and used to get personal information. These things can be very dangerous and harmful to people. In an article by Sean Buckley, he explains that if companies built their policies around privacy they would make people more comfortable. The article compares internet privacy to a racetrack by saying the following: "everything from the layout of the racetrack, the way drivers are trained, how pit crews interact with vehicles, it was all designed for speed and safety. As a result, spectators don't worry about their safety at a race because they trust that the system was built to protect them. Companies hoping to deal in big data have to do the same thing: Build trust by building their entire company to support privacy and data security." Like he said, people have to trust where they put their information. If people knew that they could trust more we would be able to do more things on the internet.
