Internet Privacy

"Who has the right to monitor internet usage and, if so, when are they allowed to have access to someone’s internet? The government has the right to monitor someone’s internet history and usage when there is a potential threat to someone’s security or safety. Many other aspects of US citizens’ lives are regulated and regulating internet just be adding one more thing to the list. Some argue for limited monitoring, while others believe that the internet should be censored. Censorship of the internet restricts first and ninth amendment rights, but also gives a sense of security to many people.

The right to privacy is a constitutional principle and is intrinsically linked to the right of the personality of the individual and the violation of this principle implies the direct interference of personal and intimate relationships, distorting the very way we think and act, causing inhibition to creativity obstruction and communication with society. Due to technological advancement, people tend to get used to the facilities of online shopping and social networking, providing personal information over networks that interconnect the database, thus balancing the right to privacy and other inherent to it. In recent decades, the technological advancement of computer technology has shaken the entire structure of the right to privacy and shown

If Sweden, for example were to enact some law that enables internet censorship it would compromises their constitutional laws. The Swedish foundation law states that you have the right to publish whatever you want as long as it is inside the boundaries of the law and that the Swedish agencies are not allowed to investigate what’s aired in tv, radio or any other electronic device. So enacting a law that censors the internet would mean that the government is doing something illegal which out of a political view would mean suicide. Quoting article 18 of the universal human rights “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” (UN, New York, 10/12/15) From this we can clearly see that any kind of censorship directly violates the human rights since the internet is an extension of the freedom of speech. Last but not least censoring the internet violates the definition of freedom.

The government should have limits to how much power they have on the internet for the safety and rights of our people. A good thing is to realize what rights we have on the internet and watch what we post. For example, lets say the government had complete control over what we post, see, and talk about. That they could see every activity we have committed on the internet. If they had that amount of control it would be crushing.

These limitations are necessary in keeping the balance between being beneficial and exploitation. “Less obviously harmful are online companies’ unauthorized uses of consumers’ private data to make money through the sale of that information to advertisers and other commercial websites, or through the tracking of consumers’ physical movements or web browsing patterns” (Abbott). The indicated is a violation of the people’s rights. They include but are not limited to the fourth amendment which touches upon the right to unreasonable search and the first amendment which states the rights to freedom of speech, religion, press, and assembly. In light of these rights, organizations, laws, and other parties have taken strides to prevent the law-making bodies from overstepping.

Legislatures, schools, and parents should all work collectively to consider an effect approach to it. One of the fun of Internet lies in anonymity, which is also a reason for the prevalence of cyberbullying. Therefore, how to deal with cyberbullying with anonymity is an intractable

As in the today’s growing world of technological advancement and information, digital reputation is seen as the vastly prevailing state of reputation. On the other side, the internet and online social networks have become the inevitable and unescapable part of our social lives and has basically changed our personal opinions and reputes with significant consequences. As sensible individuals of society, we have to pick and choose the pros and cons of such changes. It would assist and tell us to which extent and how we can rely more on online information in decision making of social interactions. We need to preclude ourselves from the possible damages of online defamation along with privacy invasion in the race of benefiting from this age of

It is important for the music industry to take note that the copyright policy of legality when downloading unlicensed copies of music from the internet. There are so many website that did not follow the copyright policy, they are allowed to shift the CD to an MP3, but if the digital management technology or the policy prevent you from to do so, then you’re out of luck. Before you want to do the company or the website owner should know and understand the copyright laws of taking someone’s

Leading some political people to either be cautious of every step they took or to just retire from the current position they had. Now the government is a very important position that not everyone is in but even so we as regular people have it tough too. In online website because the NSA is trained to hack into our devices how do we know that our identity is being stolen while we’re putting our information into the computer? Due to technology advancing identity theft has become more common. If we continue the use of the NSA’s device we lose our privacy.

Social media providers are only the sole intermediary of video images or any information posted by their users. Although they do not create such content, they play a crucial role in determining the content that can be allowed on their platforms and materials that can remove and on any basis. These rights violated when intellectual property rights burned or when a person passes a controversial speech. Under the law, social media providers are exempt from liability for content posted by their users. That means, therefore, that social service providers are not responsible for any defamation messages posted by their users on the Internet (Wagner,

One of the biggest issues is that all services use HTTP rather than HTTPS. HTTP is used to access the firewall, Opsview monitoring, and the documentation wiki. All three of these should have their traffic encrypted, especially the firewall because if that is compromised than an attacker has much more direct access to all other systems that are behind it. It would also be recommended to use an authentication database such as Active Directory to authenticate and authorize all users for these systems. This would make it much harder to compromise accounts if the local account is not being used.

For example, there are some rules or laws that prohibit United States law enforcement or even our FBI to arrest organized crime group who internationalized their schemes in other countries. Moreover, I think technological advances, also, make infiltration harder. It is because organized crime group can gain any information they want with the use of the modern technologies such as internet. Internet in this era is a very powerful tool to search about people from their age, sex, address, family members, and even occupations, and this why I think Donnie Brasco with fail because if the organized group is not sure about him they can just use the internet or the power of technology to find out who he really

What my example has in common is that anyone externally can breach the security of data, if a company does not put certain security measures in place. The above examples given all have the ability to access important information and wipe out all computer information depending on their objective. They all if need be ask for a ransom or money to restore the information or sell out the information to the public. For example wikileaks. What important lessons can the e-business community learn from these
