1. How does Facebook’s privacy management of users’ personal information affect the behavior of Facebook patrons? Facebook’s privacy management of users’ personal information affect the behavior of Facebook patrons by not having our personal information protected with our privacy rights. “Facebook has a powerful incentive to push people into revealing more information”. I believe that this is a powerful statement, because there have been countless times that I have logged onto my Facebook and they have had popups telling me to share my phone number and all of my personal information and in my opinion when you log onto your networking site you don’t want to share all of your personal information.
With Friends Like These written by Tom Hodgkinson talks about the effect that Facebook has on the consumer. Throughout his writing Hodgkinson is very much against the use of the internet because it is an imaginary world that interconnects everyone without much effort than the use of a keyboard and mouse, everything only being a click away. He also continues to emphasize that there isn’t much effort being put into communicating and networking with others in person, putting us on the verge of losing that skill. Throughout his writing the author uses a serious tone that can come across as very negative as he speaks out against not only Facebook, but other big name companies such as Paypal, Coca-Cola and Blockbuster. The use of a descriptive example such as, “A friend of mine recently told me that he spent a Saturday night at home alone on Facebook, drinking at his desk.
A wide range of tech savvy devices and gadgets have been invented for different purposes. Whilst each serves a particular purpose, they have the tendency to be misused and of abuse to people. Closed-Circuit television CCTV is an invention which partakes in 24 hour surveillance of particular areas, the every move of civilians in range is recorded. There are no current laws on the use of CCTV cameras, hence why it is often an invasion of privacy against individual human rights. 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.
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. Port scans and ping sweeps may seem dangerous, but they can also be understood and monitored in order to identify and defend against network threats. Technology has changed a lot with in past teen years, there is much more important information on the web and on the clouds such as personal information, company or business documents, all of our financial records and many more, and there are many unethical people out there that are trying to take an advantage of these great technology’s and still from others! Network probes are very easy ways to detecting intrusions.
An example of social network is Facebook, where people post personal information about themselves. Often, without modifying privacy settings and making information being visible by others. However, to protect ourselves from outsiders, we can simply go to privacy setting and change the audience to family and closest friends. Hackers are “people who gain unauthorized access to computers or networks” (Williams & Sawyer, 2013, p. 359). They break into our computer for several reasons but mainly to acquire personal information for financial gain, shut down hardware, steal people’s credit information, and destroy data.
While nice in theory, TOR is not publically accepted and is widely regarded as the “darkweb” due to the sheer amount of illicit content accessible. PRISM is an ongoing data-mining program created and heavily used by the NSA. In theory, PRISM is to be used for the investigation of foreign targets, but its scope has been broadened as the data collected by PRISM affects most citizens internationally. With societies current dependence on internet giants such as Microsoft and Google, it is near impossible to avoid
Mainly because there are so many factors that cannot be controlled. I’m sure that the only thing worse than a child looking at pornography online is a child stealing their parents credit card to look at porn online. It is not controlled enough and I think that the least the industry can do is require a voice authorization every time. Online gambling is a whole other subject all together. The companies that have online casinos cant seriously think that anyone short of a addiction would trust a website that is taking their money to gamble online.
Anyone can be behind the computer you are engaging with. People may think that if they knew the person outside of the internet that they are safe from connecting with a stranger. This is not true, even if you think you know you are talking to a close friend a number of things could have gone wrong such as: simply taking down the wrong username, or as complex as a hacked computer. For this reason, computer communication can never
Modest Proposal Cyber bullying is an issue seen nationwide that is dangerously overlooked. Cyber bullying takes place over social networks such as Facebook and Twitter and over text messaging. Bullies are known to go after a group or person with “lower power”. There has been a rise in cyber bullying over the past few years and not nearly enough precautions are being taken to prevent this issue. Cyber bullying is legally defined as actions that use information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group that is intended to harm another or others.
In social networks people make “friends” without knowing the person and make personal information easily available” (Sauter, Poltrack, & Allen, 2012, para. 2). Criminals using social media use tools that will go through a dictionary on the Internet searching for common passwords. Facbook users can be victims of this type of hacking because many of the passwords used are common. Another way criminals use Facbook is a way to commit cyber-crime by profile cloning.
