Privacy is a Myth.

Let me tell you something that happened to me personally.
I shared a YouTube video of a vlogger called Paramvir Beniwal with my roommate on WhatsApp. He opened it on his mobile. The next minute, he opened YouTube on his laptop using a completely different account on a completely different device, and guess what the very first suggested video was?
Paramvir Beniwal.
No search. No history. Just there. How?
Because your devices talk to each other. Same WiFi network, same location, WhatsApp knowing what link you shared, Google quietly connecting the dots, and boom, the algorithm recommends something you never asked for.
They call it personalization. I call it surveillance with a friendly UI.
And this isn't just about YouTube suggestions. We've seen some of the biggest data breaches in history expose personal information of millions of people. In India's biggest reported breach, over 81.5 crore Indians' personal records were allegedly leaked from the ICMR database. Names, phone numbers, Aadhaar details, all potentially floating around the internet. The companies promised security. They always do.
Here's the truth nobody says out loud: "encrypted" doesn't mean private. It just means strangers can't read it.
Every pause, every search, every click, every link you share contributes to a profile that companies use to understand and predict your behavior. We didn't lose our privacy. We gave it away, one "I Agree" button at a time, without reading what we agreed to. What do you think? Is privacy already gone, or do we still have more control than we realize?

And now, after reading this, you might just open YouTube and see a Passenger Paramvir video waiting for you too 😏 Let me know if you do.
