It's great idea to talk about privacy. Generally people focusing on security but they don't know about privacy. We have to talk on this topic as it's one of the burning issue.

It is mandatory for Protectors of Internet like us to make the general public aware about day to day privacy compromises that are made by them and providing guidelines and remedies on the same lines.And this session indeed does the job.
