However, this interconnectedness raises crucial questions about the privacy of our digital community. When individuals share personal information on websites, is it truly private? The internet, despite its numerous benefits, poses a significant threat to our privacy if our community fails to comprehend it is complexities. Have we ever questioned why social media platforms like Instagram tailor their content, such as reels, according to our mindset? Are social media users aware of the electronic agreements/contracts that websites enter into with them? It is not uncommon for websites to transfer users’ information to other platforms without their explicit consent, all in the pursuit of business growth. Even in the 21st century, with advanced technologies like 5G networks, our privacy remains insecure. Prominent social media platforms like Twitter can be hacked, dispelling the myth of privacy security. Moreover, online banking has opened avenues for money laundering. In light of these challenges, this paper critically examines the significance of data security in the 21st century, the concept of data privacy, the true implications of electronic agreements/contracts, the reasons behind the myth of data privacy, instances of international data breaches, the amendments of the IT Act, the recognition of the right to privacy under the Indian constitution, and the potential consequences if we fail to safeguard our privacy in today’s generation.
