Some people may think that incognito mode can help them not to be traced, but that is not what incognito mode on browsers are. Incognito is just no leaving a trace of your browsing history on that your browser. Everything about it is traceable online. Your ISP can know the sites that you are visiting. Also the site that you are visiting can know a lot of information about you. If you want to have privacy while browsing, you will first need to use a better search engine like Duckduckgo and not using the ones like Google. Also using Tor and Orbot (on mobile) will be very important to connect online.

is their anything like privacy on the internet? Just do your thing and live your life without being bothered on what on what your data is being used for because the reality is that your data is no safe and the exploitation is increasing at an alarming rate with no one saying anything about it or planning how to stop or reduce it.

If we start to talk about the the rate of intrusion into our privacy, you will even get tired of using your phone. Their are some that believe that your camera takes regular picture of you on a regular bases while you're using your phone, are you talking about the recommendation you get as Facebook ad that comes from the private conversation you had with someone in your chat? I have never considered my data safe no matter if I deleted it or not.

That actually true  I've also came across a post that's somehow  related to this I think on beginners board, Our Dependency on Google was something about privacy and all that. As @charles-Tim said there are good search engines that are more preferable. Like I'm also a user of such love because nothing like having your privacy.

If we start to talk about the the rate of intrusion into our privacy, you will even get tired of using your phone

That why ignorance is bliss. As Op said just try mind the things you post via Internet to avoid  such privacy issues.

Internet have exposed so many things in this our new generation because, some times if things are working well for us secretly, we feel that we are expert in the internet but the day  government will mean the group of people to bring them out to face the punishment that involved such comment, then you will know that internet can expose so many things about us. If you are not using internet for bad things in the society, I don't think you have any thing to worry about apart from Army robbers and, many people are not walking these days without putting something around them to defend themselves in case such thing happen.

I guess, BTC users in this platform are very safe for this aspect because they have a lot of things that is keeping them busy and moreover they know how to avoid some things that will expose their privacy to the public.

Not until after seeing this post, I always believe that when you switch to incognito mode in browser, you’re safe and untraceable online. But after reading your post, I now imagine how those websites you visit using incognito can know that a guest visited their site and were able to record it down. The internet is very scary but we can’t do without it today since most of the things we need today have to be gotten from there. Let’s just try and be safe while browsing online, not reveal relevant information about us too much to the internet because once captured there, it can’t be deleted forever and can be used to track you or even y use against you in the future. Let the internet be a safe haven for all by utilizing it in the right way it should be.

Even the government is growing weary of what is happening over the internet and is only pursuing the serious once if not things are happening. The internet has its advantages, but it also carries risks and has caused more harm than good. If you look into the damages the internet has caused, you will be surprised by what you find, I've heard that assassins target the dark web to determine how dangerous an intern is, so the surface web is actually far superior to what is happening there, which is where governments constantly concentrate their attention. and the best way to avoid a lot of thing is to get busy once you are busy you wont even have time to start thinking of engaging into anything bad, make we avoid been idle.

Na true talk be dat, nothing dey hide in the internet and everything we dey delete deh go somewhere dey store demselves. And as for warning be say make we be careful for di data we dey submit for online, I don't think we go fit do because we upload different information in di internet. Mostly in di social media and what of di applications we dey submit everytime, all those one na di data we dey give out to di internet so na only pray and God nai go save human beings in the Earth.

There is no place to hide in the net.

[Makus]

The truth of the matter na be say, even our privacy for the internet fit no dey private. Many of the hacks Dem wey we dey hear, no be one day the hacker take plan  and execute the plans, e take process. Dem get many software wey Dem fit send give you and from there the software go just install their virus put for your device, your device fit dey work perfectly, but Dem don dey observe your activity and Dem fit use am take hack you. Anything wey we post today, person fit dig am out after many years after, so make we still dey very careful.
Just like the example wey the op give, our finger prints Dem many for internet, bank BVN e dey, NIN e dey, travel passport e dey, and we never even start to talk about those apps Dem wey dey for our phone wey dey use finger prints take dey lock themselves.

[rachael9385]

Even Internet self nah big scam because them fit even do you anything through the help of the Internet, as long as you are using the Internet you are not safe because you can be traced.
Like you said, a lot of people would have gone to jail based illegal things on the internet or from offline, and all this can be done if one is making use of the internet.
The Internet have make a lot of things to be more easy to the extent that one can stay here and know what's happening in other part of the world through the help of phone calls and all the rest.
As long as deleted things can still be recovered, then there is nothing like delete in the internet because as the real owner have deleted them and he or she don't want them anymore, someone can still find it even without their concert.
Honestly speaking, I feel more pity for those that always register on some fake sites and still verify somethings with their personal identification details, the owner of those sites can sell of those details to orger illegal people.

You can still have privacy on the internet, it's because of the privacy that a lot of criminals hasn't been caught even when they're active on the internet. Na you no know how to stay private because alot of tools dey to use make yourself more anonymous on the internet. There are a lot of apps that are paid apps and when use can increases your privacy, dem no dey free and not accessible openly unless you know where to go look to see them. The world is a small village, we're getting connected everyday so our data supposed dey online for easy access to anybody wey need am aroun the world.

The internet is dangerous when our information gets into the wrong hands but in the right hands e no dey dangerous. You as a person na for you to control what's out there and na wetin make dem say no be everything you go dey post for social media. Something wey happen to you no suppose go social media so you go fit get some privacy.

Infact any things wey you thinks say you delete still dey there only say you no get access to them again. Just dey careful of things wey you dey post for internet.

That's why it's the internet, dem say the internet never forgets and no be lie so you suppose dey careful wetin you dey put out to the world, even for the forum you need watch yourself make you no put yourself for wahala as the internet never forgets. Try keep some of your information of the net because as e enter you no fit commot am again. Even when you delete am from everywhere, when someone with the right tools search am dem go see am.

[Churchillvv]

It's true the internet has so much information about us and if this informations enters  the wrong hand it will be very dangerous, i don't believe that there is a safe place in the internet not at all, we are only promised a little security or privacy but not total privacy. If companies decided to release the information of its users then we would not be safe at all.

There are places that they promise us encrypted messages or activities but it's not still encrypted, it only hidden to us but to people that can access them it's not. Have you held of the dark web this place people's identities (internet activities)/information are being sold or hacked activities are being traded for money. If we read the terms and conditions of each service we use online you will find areas that they said that our privacy is determined by governments if it's required by the right authority then it will be surrendered.

Even with the suggested search engines that seems private if looked into the activities will still be uncovered.

Watin u talk make sense well well, our data dey the internet, from our Banks details, to our academic details and a whole lot of details is out there, just that there are some security protections attached to it, however it doesn't stop the fact that our data are vulnerable to the unsuspecting public. So we need to guide our information out there, the internet is wild so protect whatever information you have out there against scammers. There are still some people that still try to save some of the most important formation they have offline or have it as a raw data instead of saving it on the internet, all these are means they put in place just to protect their own data.

The Internet (International network) , was designed to educate and connect people around the world together, but the way most persons they use internet now , e done leave the initial plan of bringing and connecting people together to where all kind of naked stuffs are being posted, but like I dey always tell people anything wey get advantage get disadvantage, so make we concentrate on the advantage and forget the disadvantage, if not for internet  me and you no for they for this forum they chat, so make we enjoy the advantage and forget the dangers of it, in the same time preventing the dangers from happening.

Omo my brother you actually hit the nail on its head for this talk because na very legit information, many people think say there are actually secure or untraceable but they don't know that everything and everyone who uses the internet is actually recorded. Well for us wey this part of the world might think that the technology no dey advanced reached for them to be traced but my brother if you actually check well you go see say things have really changed and the number of high tech development is so alarming to the extent that everyone is actually recorded and if no be like you talk about the restrictions many of us for don suprised how our information would be used to do things against or traced us down.

[CryptSafe]

Truly the world don pass analog wey things dey run manually. As it stands now na digital dispensation we dey so. The internet is not left behind as it is the fulcrum of the digital world. Many things we can see in the internet today. No doubt the internet has played a vital role in the world unification, information dissemination data be sharing and lots more.

As it is that it has advantage, so it has disadvantages and as such, one should be careful how they use the internet to store their information because if there be any hack into your data, it can be used against you for any purpose. So it would be in your best interest to protect your details jealously and minimise the rate at which you store personal information online.

[Miles2006]

Anything wey dey associated to the internet no dey hide so nothing dey private again for Internet, you no even need to submit your personal information, just using of the internet to search and watch videos your information don store, sometimes I dey reason this thing most especially sometimes wey people go say WhatsApp dey private and the disappearing message dey hidden but I doubt because if WhatsApp dey private why backup message dey always dey for people wey delete WhatsApp. Sometimes e good make we dey get the reminder of all this common things so we go dey careful when using the internet, thanks for the reminder.

[Obim34]

The internet can be seen in both terms, can be beneficial and still harmful. The internet is wild beyond what we ever imagined, the data holds by this internet is surprising, most things we never taught about are what they hold as facts about a user. Who would believe with only scanning one of your picture on a site will dive deep and fetch out all of your pictures on the internet no matter where you have posted them it will fetch them out, see how scaring the internet has become.

Many people take the Internet  for granted forgetting that the Internet don't forget things  that is why one needs to be very careful with how the Internet is being handled. Someone of the information we think we have taking away from the Internet are still there. The Internet has some vital data containing information belonging to you so far as you are dealing with the Internet. We just have to be careful how we  use the Internet so that we don't land ourselves in trouble that will cost us much.
