Collusion on the Web

Mozilla has developed a download that allows browsers to track the companies who monitor our every move on the internet. This program is called Collusion. Collusion tracks the third party trackers who map your activity on the web. Collusion provides users with a web like map of the sites that you are being followed on. Collusion is an attempt to inform users that they are being monitored and by what companies. We should all know that FACEBOOK is one of the largest tracking sites which sell personal information. I applaud the fact that Mozilla is attempting to inform the public about the private tracking of internet browsing. This effort still won’t change the fact that the internet has become another way of controlling and monitoring the public. I always knew that we left a history of cookies on the internet every time we go from site to site. Now that I know how many companies are tracking movement online, it makes me leery of surfing the web. I’m sure we as American citizens have the right to online privacy. It just takes time for us to realize that we have no privacy, and then we will be able to demand it.
