What are some of the issues relating to online marketing and ethical conduct? Because of the powerful new technologies such as Internet, today’s sales people are pushy, invasive, and disruptive. Although consumers have complained fiercely to state and federal lawmakers, spam, telemarketing, paid inclusions and other forms of direct marketing have some protection under the First Amendment of the US Constitution. The ethical conflict is between a consumer’s right to privacy and a marketer’s right to disseminate information. Both sides have powerful arguments.
These ads get in the way of the viewers screen and will most of the time trick you into clicking onto the pop up, which unethically redirects you to another web page. It may even make you click in an area that authorizes an installation of some sort of adware to your computer. Lack of online B2C ethics has been a large contributor to identity theft and internet fraud. In conclusion, there are many legal and ethical concerns with online B2B and B2C sites.

Discuss methodological issues in the study of psychokinesis (4 marks + 6 marks) There are many methodological issues with research into psychokinesis, one being that it’s highly fraudulent. Many times which individuals who claim to be able to do psychokinesis tend to not be able to show their ‘powers’ when put in controlled settings. The existence of macro-PK should be able to be easily demonstrated under controlled conditions however, till this date, no compelling evidence has been produced and hence a great focus is put on micro-PK, frankly because it can easily be shown through trickery. An example of fraud in psychokinesis is Uri Geller, who was the most well-known person for psychokinesis abilities and claimed to have powers that he used to bend spoons, stop clocks, be telepathic etc. Gellar, however, would never be able to reproduce his powers when asked to perform on the spot.
The federal government has deemed it necessary to investigate anyone that seems in any way suspicious in the way of terrorism. This extends from illegal search and seizure to allowing any future cell phone or computer usage to be watched without a new warrant. Civil liberties activists claim that this, again, is an infringement on Constitutional rights while others claim this is a necessary infringement to protect our communities and people. Another issue with the expansion of the executive branch is the cooperation on a local, state, and federal level. The argument is that police are too involved in the legal aspects of collecting evidence, while intelligence agents are too uninvolved.
If hackers are constantly thwarted and discouraged from penetrating your network they normally move on to another site. With proper instruction, the right software and sufficient support, one can take necessary steps in preventing malicious types of activities in a network.

Network probes are very easy ways to detecting intrusions.
Leonard Birts ENF 234 Computers in Law Enforcement October 30, 2011 The growing danger from crimes committed against computers, or against information on computers, is beginning to claim attention all around the world. This lack of legal protection means that businesses and governments must rely solely on technical measures to protect themselves from those who would steal, deny access to, or destroy valuable information. Self-protection, while essential, is not sufficient to make cyberspace a safe place to conduct business. Countries where legal protections are inadequate will become increasingly less able to compete in the new economy. As cybercrime increasingly breaches national borders, nations perceived as havens run the risk of having
Proposition 187 called for the denial of health, education, and social services to those people who are not registered citizens of the United States, or to those who are not legal immigrants. The requirements in order for this to be carried out however were great, requiring administrators and law enforcement to check on people’s citizenship status. Proposition 187 recognized illegal immigration as a serious problem that
But businesses have gotten so caught up in technological security that they have forgotten the more basic, yet salient, notion of physical security. However, breaches in securing electronic information or physical security can cause serious damage or loss to any corporation, business, or agency. In addition to physical security, security assessments, and basic physical controls play a major role in the protection of people, assets, and proprietary information. Security assessments help to identify threats and risks, mitigate vulnerabilities, and to conduct follow-ups. Basic physical controls play a vital role in physical security.
A survey conducted illustrated that the lack of knowledge as to who had access to CCTV footage was an unsettling thought for the general public. The concept of ‘Big Brother’ depicted in Geroge Orwells futuristic novel 1984 is prevalent within society. The advancements of technology have made it easier for people to pry and spy on innocent targets. An investigation by the Detroit Free Press unearthed chilling information, some unnamed police officers utilised footage available to them for personal abuse purposes. Voyerism is also a growing concern due to the enhancement of intrusive technological
