Privacy means the ability of an individual or group to hide themselves or their personal information. People protect their own privacy, so others can't use it against them. To each individual, protecting personal privacy has already become the basic right. Especially as the internet and informational technology so quickly, people have started to take online privacy more seriously than before. For example, nowadays, most emails and websites are encrypted; the most popular browsers are sending encrypted information through Https, and anonymizing networks like I2P are becoming more and more popular. Those are all very useful tool in order to protect our privacy in modern society. However, in China, it seems people don't have the right to privacy when they are facing the government. The Chinese government has the right to inspect most private information for each individual, and those inspections can exist anywhere, including daily commuting, online communication, and entertainment, etc. Besides, as the informational technologies become more advanced, the Chinese government is now using machine learning to better regulate behaviors and therefore has caused more privacy violation to the people in China.
