Scarlett Johansson Speaks Out on Privacy Invasion



I value my privacy and my personal life - and I certainly don't exploit my personal life. 
—— Scarlett Johansson

Recently, revelation of NSA surveillance, Trump taking the office, as well as too many privacy leakage attacks have rekindled privacy topics in America. Some media, news and even celebrities express their opinions and make voices for people who had suffered privacy leakage incident. Social media ID check, crack chat records, big data monitor as well as many other surveillance means caused great panic among people. What can you do if you had do something or say something improper things?

“You better do nothing!” Some may have this kind of answer. “No, that not the same thing” some think that all people are equal before the privacy. “Because that concerns how much respect and dignity people or the whole society give you” a 20 years old man said on Facebook topic—the value of privacy. It is a true thing that in the near future, we will put more and more personal info into our little device – mobile phone. That means our privacy will face constant assault in the future. With the ubiquitous use of mobile devices and a rapid shift of technology and access to mobile online social networks, it is important to analyze and examine the impact of privacy leakage.

On the one hand, we do nothing wrong when we have too many secrets and do not need to feel guilty when having sexting with lovers in the private space. But one the other hand, considering that this kind sensitive information was monitored, peeped and sell by others…Under these circumstances, a lot of secure apps became popular among many young people. Want to know how popular and universal it is? Look at this survey we conduct at last week. Kevin, 24 years old, comes from Southern California said that: I don’t have any privacy and personal life when I have a girlfriend, and that’s why I need a secure app to lock apps in my mobile. Kelly, an Internet company staff said: app lock protects my financial details and passwords when I bank and shop online. It also protects my cellphone conversation from curious eyes. 


According our survey, 67% celebrities are using encryption apps to protect their privacy from surveillance. Scarlett Johansson once said: I value my privacy and my personal life - and I certainly don't exploit my personal life. Obviously, she is the bravest star who makes voice for normal people and stands for people’s rights of privacy. “This is the loss of freedom we face when our privacy is taken from us. This is life in former East Germany, or life in Saddam Hussein's Iraq. And it's our future as we allow an ever-intrusive eye into our personal, private lives” Another actress— Daniel Craig expresses a different thought: celebrities who speak about private lives should not expect to get their privacy back.

Too many cases happened, I think, everyone had ever experienced privacy leakage case: eavesdrop, phone conversation leaks, e-mail contents and message. That must cause great damage for our life, money loss, personal info leakage as well as crisis of confidence. Google Play store offers thousands of apps that act as an extra layer of security for Android Devices. Just like your computer, your phone needs protection from surveillance and snoopers.
