Yet, often we turn a blind eye, either purposefully or inadvertently. Many of us will shout that privacy is important to us, yet <a href="http://adammclane.com/2016/05/people-really-care-online-privacy/" target="_blank">we post all sorts of personally-identifiable information</a>. We're seemingly privacy hypocrites. (It's so much easier <em>not</em> to consider our privacy, right?) Or, if we do think about our online privacy, we may trade it knowingly away, <a href="http://www.pewinternet.org/2016/01/14/privacy-and-information-sharing/" target="_blank">depending on what the tradeoff is</a>. It appears that the issue is large, messy and fast-evolving. Here's just some of what's been happening recently...if you want to think about it.</p>

'It depends,' says Choffnes, a mobile systems expert in the College of Computer and Information Science. 'We expected that apps would leak more identifiers because apps have more direct access to that information. And overall that's true. But we found that typically apps leak just one more identifier than a website for the same service. In fact, we found that in 40 percent of cases websites leak more types of information than apps.'"</li>

As soon as individuals share information with their online social networks, they no longer have sole control over the information, but must rely on others for privacy protection, said Jia."</li>

The Federal Trade Commission was long the main privacy cop enforcing these essential consumer protections. But last year, the FTC’s sister agency—the Federal Communications Commission—reclassified broadband ISPs as common carriers outside the FTC’s jurisdiction. Unless the courts reverse that decision, there are now two privacy cops on the Internet beat."</li>
