1. Who can access your personal information if you don’t lock your privacy settings tight?
Tons of people who know your name or username can access your personal information if you don’t lock your privacy settings tight. For instance, page 2 of the eBook states that tons of people on the website can access our personal information. In addition, page 6 of the eBook shows similar situation where Amy did not lock her privacy settings and someone hacked her accounts and posted bad stuff on her account page regarding a person who she thought was cute. This incident is evidence of being hacked or someone accessing your personal information if you do not set your privacy settings on.
2. Why is it important to use different passwords for different online sites? It is very essential to use different passwords for different online or social networking websites to avoid the risk of all accounts being hacked by someone. If you have the same password for all the online sites, then it gets easier for a hacker to easily access all of our accounts. While keeping different passwords limits the vulnerability to access to your online sites. For instance on page 7 of the eBook, it states that Amy's all accounts has been hacked. It is because she lost her phone and someone got her passwords and hacked all her accounts due to passwords being identical. This is evident for we should keep different passwords for different online sites.
3. Is it always possible to delete a picture or post, permanently, after you’ve put it online?
No, it is not possible for anyone to permanently delete a picture or post after you have put it online because it is then used for various other websites as advertisements or method of malw...

... had no password, what information would you be most worried about?
If I lost a mobile device without a password, and someone found it, then I would be worried about all the personal information in my phone including my text messages. If I have a social media app on my phone such as Facebook or Twitter then someone else on my phone can log on as me on my account and can read all my posts and text messages, as well as can write anything on my account which can probably embarrass me in front of the society. For example, page 7 of eBook, the phone talks about the consequences of not having a password on your phone which might cause another person to access our contacts, messages and read or write messages on all our accounts that we log into through our phones. Thus, this is evident that a mobile device without a password is very insecure to your personal information
When parents like you hear snapchat you be like is that the site people send nudes on and they disappear.Or that kid need face to face interaction. But you can get nudes sent to you on any platform. But they last forever.even if someone does send nudes they will only be their for 10 sec or less you can put a timer them POOF it's gone. Then you would say they are never gone but they
Have you ever heard of the idea of body-mounted cameras on police officers? If not, David Brooks will introduce you to the idea that was discussed in an article from New York Times called “The Lost Language of Privacy”. In this article, the author addressed both the positive and negative aspects of this topic but mostly concerned with privacy invasion for Americans. Although that is a valid concern but on a larger scale, he neglected to focus greatly on the significant benefits that we all desire.
Privacy Preserving Data Mining (PPDM) was proposed by D. Agrawal and C. C. Agrawal [1] and by Y. Lindell and B. Pinkas [5] simultaneously. To address this problem, researchers have since proposed various solutions that fall into two broad categories based on the level of privacy protection they provide. The first category of the Secure Multiparty Computation (SMC) approach provides the strongest level of privacy; it enables mutually distrustful entities to mine their collective data without revealing anything except for what can be inferred from an entity’s own input and the output of the mining operation alone by Y. Lindell and B. Pinkas in [5], J. Vaidya and C.W.Clifton in [6]. In principle, any data mining algorithm can be implemented by using generic algorithms of SMC by O.Goldreich in [7].However, these algorithms are extraordinarily expensive in practice, and impractical for real use. To avoid the high computational cost, various solutions those are more efficient than generic SMC algorithms have been proposed for specific mining tasks. Solutions to build decision trees over the horizontally partitioned data were proposed by Y. Lindell and B. Pinkas in [5]. For vertically partitioned data, algorithms have been proposed to address the association rule mining by J. Vaidya and C.W.Clifton in [6], k-means clustering by J. Vaidya and C. Clifton in[8], and frequent pattern mining problems by A.W.C. Fu, R.C.W. Wong, and K. Wang in [9]. The work of by B. Bhattacharjee, N. Abe, K. Goldman, B. Zadrozny, V.R. Chillakuru, M.del Carpio, and C. Apte in [10] uses a secure coprocessor for privacy preserving collaborative data mining and analysis. The second category of the partial information hiding approach trades pr...
The purpose of this posting is to explain what privacy and confidentiality mean and then review the case study about the options of reporting abuse in a child and what principles of ethics are involved with it.
Privacy challenges. Privacy is a circumstance of restricted right of entry to an information regarding an individual (Knoppers, 2015). Brothers and Rothstein (2015) noted numerous other kinds of privacy, comprising physical, decisional, proprietary and relational or associational privacy. This study emphasizes on informational health privacy. When it comes to privacy issues the crucial question to explore is; how can leadership balance the right of privacy with the advantageous requirement for clinical data-access in EHR? The Privacy Act of 1974 is the US law that represents national standards to protect the private health information of individuals by mandating appropriate safeguards and limitations on the right to use and release of (PHI)
Despite all the controversy and disagreements, most of the populous would agree that on an individual level, privacy is our space to be ourselves as well as to define ourselves through autonomy and protecting our dignity. Our interactions with others can define the level of our relationships with them through the amount of privacy we can afford in the relationship. As we age and immerse ourselves into society, we gain a sense of confidence and security from our privacy. A sense that others know only what we tell them and we know only what they tell us in exchange. What we fear is what others can access and what they might do if they knew of our vulnerabilities. Maintaining and keeping our vulnerable aspects private, we develop a false sense of personal safety from the outside.
Most studies have shown that popular opinion holds that without a doubt national DNA databases have proved useful in criminal investigations (Wallace, 2006, pS27). The concept of a national DNA database has raised concern about privacy and human rights as seen through the scope of public safety. All of these concerns are elevated with databases include convicted, arrestee, innocent, and “rehabilitated” offenders (Suter, 2010, p339). Robin Williams of University of Duham (2006) asserts that:
We are living in world that is growing in technology. Technology is evolving so rapidly, especially in ways that allow us to store personal information. For example, we can look up a purchase with no receipt at a retail store with a swipe of a credit card. Another example, we could go to the doctor and the nurse can print out a copy of all our health records that are stored in the computer by just typing in our full name. Although this may be a way to make things easier for us, it is also a way for people to take our information without permission and do what they please with it. People can hack into the database of retail stores and steal account numbers and people can just say your name and get your health history if the nurse does not ask for a form of identification. Information privacy is a growing concern for Internet and data users. In a report Protecting Privacy in an Information Age: The Problem of Privacy in Public, researched by Helen Nissenbaum of Princeton University, she states:
Terms and Laws have gradually change overtime dealing with different situations and economic troubles in the world in general. So then dealing with these issues the workplace has become more complex with little or no rights to privacy. Privacy briefly explained is a person’s right to choose whether or not to withhold information they feel is dear to them. If this something will not hurt the business, or its party members then it should be kept private. All employees always should have rights to privacy in the workplace. Five main points dealing with privacy in public/private structured businesses are background checks, respect of off duty activities/leisure, drug testing, workplace search, and monitoring of workplace activity. Coming to a conclusion on privacy, are there any limits to which employers have limitations to intrusion, dominance on the employee’s behavior, and properties.
Benjamin Franklin once said: “ They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.“ Today, we may agree or disagree with Franklin’s quote, but we do have one thing in common: just as Franklin, we are still seeing freedom vs. security as a zero-sum game – one where one can gain only at the expense of another and where the two cannot possibly coexist. However, this is not necessarily the case. There does not have to be necessarily a trade-off between privacy and security; the proper balance is the one where neither security nor privacy suffers from both of them being present in our daily lives.
The aim of this study was to investigate individual’s behavior around privacy issues and factors affecting it. For this purpose, a research model was developed with external factors (age, gender and profession) and the factors privacy concern, attitude and audience awareness influencing audience behavior. Also, hypotheses were formulated about the research model to examine differences based on gender, age and profession on individual’s attitude, concern and awareness.
The privacy of the individual is the most important right. Without privacy, the democratic system that we know would not exist. Privacy is one of the fundamental values on which our country was founded. There are exceptions to privacy rights that are created by the need for defense and security.
Despite existing laws and privacy enhancing technological methods, the US is progressively taking full advantage of its dominant position not just as the home of companies like Facebook, Google and Twitter but also acknowledging jurisdiction on all websites registered in the US. Therefore, countries such Brazil, Iran, Russia, India and China “are now challenging United States hegemony of the Internet and even calling for the creation of a new governing body to oversee Internet policy” (Brooke, 2012, p.245).
In today’s life in the public eye can become a huge responsibility to the public. This is truer today as it has ever been before. This is due to the new existence of social media sites and sources like Facebook. When users first create an account, people think that the site protects their privacy. They are to an extent, but could the things people do to insure their privacy backfire? Social media has played a big part in today’s society, and it has made things very open to the public. However, with this there comes some loss of privacy. Social media sites have privacy settings that the users can change to their liking. Are the settings enough? Could they cause more problems than they are worth?
Slowly technology has been disintegrating many aspects of our society, the internet especially. Although the internet has its positive effects such as its wealth of resources it has led to the loss of privacy. For example social networking sites give their users easy access to share information about themselves however, due to the explosion of technology it has made hacking easier to online predators. The government has attempted to help people regain their privacy online by passing the Consumer Internet Privacy Protection Act of 1997, although this law has been difficult to enforce due to the fast advances in technology and the web. In the novel 1984 by George Orwell, a society described to be constantly watched “Big Brother is watching you” (Orwell 4) , where there is no such thing as privacy or freedom of speech and the government is in control of everything. Orwell in this novel foresees the advancements of technology to be harmful to our future society, if we continue to let our privacy be taken away from us it will make us one step closer to living in a society where the government/large corporations control all.
