Information and privacy is a topic that has been heated debated throughout modern days. Information and privacy are all connected to social values, such as personal interests, benefit and needs. The hard thing that ordinary people all suffer from is how to deal with the combinations of privacy and other modern interest or benefits.

The enlightenment and censure of the privacy issues reveal a critical tension between the ordinary online surfing users who want to enjoy an online product or platform without personal data leakage and other terrible consequences, and between the lucrative gigantic technology companies who want to earn every potential penny from their users. From my perspective, the importance of such regulation is undeniable. A more radical regulation will help the ordinary people to raise their awareness and create a better world.
