The answer is very simple to spy on you, blackmail you, the reason can be anything. Is this possible ?   "Anything is possible" in fact in the past vulnerabilities has been seen in Adobe Flash and even Facebook that allows hackers to turn on your camera and record without your knowledge. On some laptops it can be done in such a way that the light next to your camera will not get on.  So how can we protect our self from such intrusion.

PRIVACY !! Why should I care ?

What is Privacy ? Privacy is an individuals state of isolation, a space where he/she can limit, control and restrict, how his/her personal data is being collected, used and shared.   Every Individual has something private,something he wants to keep secret from others and its no crime. Privacy is just another fundamental human right, just like right to speech, right to live, right to express etc. Its all about respecting individual who desires to keep something private. "Without Privacy there's no point being an Individual"_ Jonathan Franzen.  Imagine of a situation when we are under surveillance, we'll observe dramatic changes in our regular behavior. We will limit socializing with peoples around. In fact we will create a boundary around our self with whom we want to talk & meet. Even we will be censoring our ideas and talks. Invasion of privacy can have serious emotional and psychological consequences. Privacy is necessary to think and express ourselves
