Protection of privacy is considered an essential human right, crucial and important for the protection of freedom. Although privacy is such an important part of our lives, today's technology is threatening the security and privacy of many people (Rotenberg). Cell phones, social media, government, and other forms of technology threaten the lives of many in both their personal lives and the workplace (Lazar). We need to start considering ways to help protect privacy more effectively to protect the lives of people around the world. Privacy protection has many different “dimensions” or parts.

Although these photos were scandalous, her privacy was threatened by an unwanted stranger who hacked her iPhone's "iCloud" account and leaked these nude photos.
