In 2017, a leaky API inside the McDelivery App exposed private data, which consisted of home addresses, of 2.2 million users.

Seclusion of an agitated person in a quiet room free of stimulation may help de-escalate a situation which may be dangerous to the agitated person or those around them.

Methods used to restrict the freedom of such patients include medication (including chemical restraint ), physical restraint , and behavioral therapy . Seclusion must only be used in

Revenge porn may lead to misogynist or homophobic harassment, such as in the suicide of Amanda Todd and the suicide of Tyler Clementi .

In a research study which takes a sample size of 3763, researchers found that for users posting selfies on social media, women generally have greater concerns over privacy than men, and that users' privacy concerns inversely predict their selfie behavior and activity. An invasion of someone's privacy may be widely and quickly disseminated over the Internet. When social media sites and other online communities fail to invest in content moderation , an invasion of privacy can expose people to

For example, under traditional schools of sharia or Islamic law , a man and a woman who are not married and not mahram , may be forbidden to be together in a house, a bathroom, or a secluded place.

Intrusions of social media privacy are known to affect employment in the United States. Microsoft reports that 75 percent of U.S. recruiters and human-resource professionals now do online research about candidates, often using information provided by search engines, social-networking sites, photo/video-sharing sites, personal web sites and blogs, and Twitter . They also report that 70 percent of U.S. recruiters have rejected candidates based on internet information. This has created

The deuterocanonical books are included in the Septuagint , the earliest extant Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible.

Some say that their canonicity seems not to have been doubted in
2574-820: The Gelasian Decree , the Council of Rome (382 AD) defined a list of books of scripture as canonical. It included most of the deuterocanonical books. Patristic and synodal lists from the 200s, 300s and 400s usually include selections of the deuterocanonical books.
