Given the recent news about the leaks of personal data on Facebook, I've questioned myself many times about why people don't seem to care about their privacy and other's one.

When you upload a photo or video into a platform, you are sharing not only your face and identity but the faces and names of the others around you. This is kind of annoying how many persons are willing to share any data with any platform, but even more annoying how they share other's data with no previous consent.
It is sadly common when you ask those people about their privacy, they usually answer with the "I have nothing to hide" common phrase. But, I ask:
- Having nothing to hide means to share everything?
- Have you questioned yourself about what you share and why? I mean: this is really necessary to take a pic of the coffee you are drinking, including the people and the place with and where you are at that moment?
- Do you care about the other's privacy when you upload a pic or a piece of information into platforms as Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube? Do you even ask before uploading other's information?
- Why do you share all this data? What do you want to achieve by sharing everything?

What I want in here is to understand why people are willing to share anything in their lives, for I can't. I don't have any Facebook or Instagram account, for I despise anything related to this kind of social interaction. For that, it is really difficult to me to understand why the people are so interested in sharing anything in their lives, and, also, why they don't care about other's life's when sharing also their activity. This is a huge social problem, from my point of view.

So... what do you people feel about your own (and other's) privacy?
