- 1. How To Protect Your Privacy Online How to protect your privacy online is a debate that has been sparked fierce debate even more than usual with the situation involving the NSA and Eric Snowden. Thoughts of the book '1984' and 'Big Brother' looking over your shoulder, tracking your every move seems to be more real than ever before.

But right off the top off my head.... People can say that they are you when they're not when they have access to your personal information. (Ever notice how many Twitter and Facebook pages there are for celebrities that aren't authentic, but LOOK like they are?) Imagine someone else impersonating you. Making statements that you......
