Nearly 4.5 billion people used the internet in 2019 – that equals 9 percent growth in about one year. Revelations in 2013 by the US government covert surveillance of ordinary citizens’ internet activities have not hindered the growth and adoption of the internet and social media. Both have become widely recognized as essential communications and information sharing platforms.
However, one needs to accept that anonymity and privacy are not guaranteed when browsing the web or using cloud-based services, social media, and free communication apps. Law enforcement can use evidence collected from online surveillance to obtain warrants and seize computers as part of a criminal investigation. Regardless of how tidy you keep your computer’s file system, deleted files can be recovered quickly by law enforcement using forensic software and sophisticated methods for data recovery.
