Privacy Problems with Web 2.0

Description

Web 2.0 is an attitude rather then a new technology, as the creation of a social environment was already present in the original web vision. The evolution of web-based technologies, such as scripting languages and HTML 5, has produced more powerful and user-friendly interfaces. Moreover, clear and widely accepted standards dramatically push the concept of interoperability. As a consequence, it is now easier to conduct social activities, create communities, establish relationships and publish user-generated content. But this also has a drawback – the increased 'social attitude' introduces related issues in terms of privacy and personal information protection.
