COBISS.SI-ID: 2339283Information-communication technologies (ICTs) influence many aspects of contemporary everyday lives. In this sense they create new possibilities but also raise concerns especially in terms of privacy. One of the main challenges of the information society should be protecting the privacy of individuals, but this is difficult to achieve as individuals constantly (without even being aware) leave digital traces of their lives and, on the other side, main global companies such as Google and Facebook regularly change their privacy policies. These changes, the companies say, are introduced in the interests of users – but more often the opposite is believed to be true. Besides, such changes have also important consequences on broader society and one of them is general perception of privacy. From the broader view, this presentation will focus on perception of privacy in the cyberspace. But since it is believed that there is no (more) sharp division on two separate worlds, namely cyber and physical, these consequences are also relevant for general society. Therefore, different dubious cases of privacy issues in EU will be presented and discussed.

COBISS.SI-ID: 1536257476We live in a period, which is described by (strong) words such as hyperconnectivity, perpetual contact, huge loose personal networks, etc. These phenomenon are consequence of (intense) ICT use in everyday communication of contemporary individuals.
