What is Privacy? Why is it even important for us?

Today, I am going to write on a very interesting but somehow ignored term by many normal Internet users, and it is Privacy. Privacy is security, privacy is safety. If you don’t take it seriously then it’s a topic of a little bit (or more) depressing and tension. How? We are here for exactly that reason here.

We know what is Privacy and we know how to be secure in this World becoming over-transparent, over-insecure (in terms of the Internet).
Are they the questions or even thoughts just crossed through your mind as I said, “I’ll talk about Privacy over the Internet”? Might have!
Privacy? Security? Why are they even Important.
