Invasion of privacy refers to the violation of an individual's right to keep their personal information and activities private. This can occur through various means, such as unauthorized surveillance, data breaches, or sharing private information without consent. Laws regarding privacy vary by country, but many protect individuals from such intrusions. Common examples of invasion of privacy include identity theft, where someone uses another person's personal information for fraudulent purposes, and cyberstalking, which involves harassing someone online. Additionally, social media platforms can sometimes contribute to privacy issues when users unknowingly share sensitive information publicly.
