On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which was originally written to guarantee everyone's personal rights everywhere. The term privacy is not written in the document, but many people explain this by reading Article 12[4], which states:

　　No one’s privacy, family, home, or communication shall be arbitrarily interfered with, and his honour and reputation shall not be attacked. Everyone has the right to obtain legal protection from such interference or attacks.

　　Since the global surveillance disclosure initiated by former National Security Agency employee Edward Snowden in 2013, privacy has been the subject of international debate. Government agencies, such as the National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, R&AW and GCHQ, are engaged in quality, global monitoring.

　　Some of the current debates surrounding the right to privacy include whether privacy can coexist with the current ability of intelligence agencies to obtain and analyze many details of a person’s life; whether the right to privacy is confiscated as part of a social contract to strengthen the threat of so-called terrorism Defense; and whether the threat of terrorism is a legitimate excuse to monitor ordinary people handheld privacy statement.

　　Private sector actors may also threaten privacy rights-especially technology companies that use and collect personal data, such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Yahoo. These concerns have been exacerbated by scandals, including the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal, which is mainly aimed at the psychological analysis company Cambridge Analytica, which uses Facebook's personal data to affect a large number of people.
