The case of Paul v. Davis, 424 U.S. 693 (1976) examines a case of defamation of character by the defendant in which the accused was said to have destroyed Mr. Davis’s name and character by unlawfully soliciting that he was a prior shoplifter to the community when Mr. Davis had in fact been cleared of the charges prior to the solicitation. The Belk Corporation in return could claim procedural due process of the law considering as stated in the case, there were no other witnesses aside for the three involved. Belk’s could claim they had no knowledge of the alleged crime as a corporation and lay the blame on Joan as an individual rather than as an employee of the Belk Corporation. Should the Belk Corporation successfully accomplish this task, Joan would not have had enough probable cause against Garcia to successfully win this case. Joan’s mere suspicion of Garcia is not enough to constitute probable cause.
The petitioner’s position was that California courts do not have jurisdiction over a company based in Florida or the president of the company who was a resident of Florida. The respondents posit that the petitioner’s product was significantly represented in California, with circulation of 600,000 copies in that state alone; thereby making it reasonable to assume that the petitioners were well aware of the impact the article would have on the respondent and the respondent’s relationships in California. The Case Calder v. Jones is a lawsuit initiated in California by Shirley Jones, a resident of California against The National Enquirer newspaper, a company incorporated in Florida, a reporter working for the newspaper in Florida, and the president of the company who is a resident of Florida. The lawsuit filed in California claims that Jones (the respondent) had been libeled in an article written, edited, and published by the newspaper (the petitioners). The article ran in the October 9, 1979, issue of the newspaper.

Obscene, in this sense, pertains only to the legal definition of obscenity, not what any particular person or moral code may deem obscene. Luke Records, Inc. was a Florida Corporation and Nick Navarro was the sheriff of Broward County at the time. The sheriff obtained an ex-parte injunction (this means an injunction without both parties being present at the initial hearing) granting the sheriff an injunction (a court order to "stop" doing a particular act). This injunction was served on local record stores in an effort to have the music removed from Florida retail sale. After the local Florida Circuit Court in Broward County issued the injunction, the decision was appealed to the United States District Court for Southern Florida where the Court ordered the sheriff to stop enforcing the injunction, but did, in fact, rule that the music was obscene, especially the song "As Nasty As They Wanna Be."
Failing to inform your partner that he/she is HIV positive with whom you are having sexual relations with in the state of Florida results in being charged with first degree murder. 3. At the time, the spreading of HIV infections was a major epidemic and resulted in a number of deaths from AIDS. 2.

eHarmony has the opportunity to use new technology to convert non-paying members, who have already created profiles in their member data base, to paying subscribers. The strategy that is being recommended is (i) targeted advertising using database analytics, (ii) a review of current advertising expenditures for opportunity to re-allocate, and finally (iii) recommendations and models to measure the effectiveness of targeted marketing. Technology and algorithms that “match” two potential relationship-seekers typically is the first line of strategy that is discussed in the on-line dating market. In 2011 Match, the top competitor to eHarmony, reported 1.8 million paying subscribers who used its “Synapse” algorithm to find possible mates. eHarmony uses its “Personality Profile” and its questionnaire as its technology strategy.
In October 2007, Marion Jones, a sprinter for the United States summer Olympic team in the Sydney games in 2000, signed an ‘Acceptance of Sanction’ admitting to the use of performance enhancing drugs in front of the United States Anti-Doping Agency; forfeiting her rights to the medals and awards won at the Olympic games and disqualifying her from all track and field events in which she competed. On 10 April 2008, an appeal was filed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board against the United States women’s relay team of the 2000 Sydney Olympics in attempts to disqualify and force Jone’s teammates to also return all medals and awards presented to each sprinter who competed in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays. The athletes in question were Andrea Anderson, Latasha Colander Clark, Jearl Miles-Clark, Torri Edwars, Chryste Gaines, Monique Hennagan and Passion Richardson.
This affects us greatly because what we give is what we now get. In chapter one Pariser states, “Your behavior is now commodity, a tiny piece of a market that provides a platform for the personalization of the whole internet". To put in other words, your personal information is sold so businesses know what to sell. An interesting quote is added in this chapter, “If you get something for free, you’re the product, not the customer"(Pariser45). What is meant by this is sites such as Google or Facebook give us free services, or so we think, but what is really happening is they collect our personal information and sell them to businesses so they can use it to lure us into buying their products through specialized ads.
