Despite its many benefits, concerns about online privacy and security remain significantly. One major issue is the increasing prevalence of data breaches, where sensitive information is accessed by unauthorized parties. This not only compromises individual confidence but also undermines trust in digital platforms. Additionally, the rapid dissemination of misinformation poses a threat to societal coherence and democratic processes.
