Smartphones contribute to the rise of invasion of privacy by people being able to hack you, or the fact that if you send something to someone they can take a screenshot and send that screenshot in a group chat instantly. But you also can’t blame a smartphone as much because it’s not the smartphone’s fault it is the people using it. A smartphone is a object it has no control on who uses it and how they use it. It’s the person using it who has control they also have control of what they use there phone for. Another thing that contributes to invasion of privacy is social media. Due to the improper use of social media invasion of privacy has gone up. social media is a good example because once you post something it never goes away it will always come back. But the biggest factor of invasion privacy is people because they are the ones doing the harm they are the ones responsible.
