Internet and privacy debate?

When it comes to Internet privacy is nothing. No matter how u tried to secure your data. Using this and that stuff. Believe me, there's always a loop hole somewhere.

A right to privacy is implied but not directly stated in the Constitution. With the Supreme Court stacked the way it is, I doubt they will declare it unconstitutional. I have dropped my phone company (Verizon) entirely and gone with Cable Modem and VOIP.. I recommend anyone concerned about the "Big Brother" state America is becoming do the same.

Not without an amendment.   Currently there is no protection of privacy as provided in the constitution. \n\nWhat we need is even just a well written LAW, there really is no need to make amendment.

Would it be better to have no internet in China?\n\nTHOSE ARE THE RULES.\n\nThe dissidents know it.  (We do it to pedophiles here.)\n\nSometimes, to bring about change, you have to compromise.\n\nMaybe now, it's not so funny when you shoot off your mouth and hide behind your "right to free speech".

I speak from across the fence on this matter, but I will let you know what I hear most often. The Patriot Act that has broadened the government's ability to seek information from it's fellow citizens has left some more liberal voters upset. They feel that the government's noose of power has grown a bit tighter, and I assume they foresee a future government domination over the people of this nation. I do not know of any firsthand accounts where someone's privacy rights have been infringed upon, or violated. Not that I wish there was, but there doesn't seem to be anyone personally hurt by the Act. Personally, I've felt that as long as man would uphold his responsibilites to treat his fellow man with love, and respect there would be no need for government at all. But we both know that we fail to do this, therefore creating a need for government. So if the privilages we enjoy so dearly seem in danger, I believe it is because of our own faults. I hope that this has been helpful.

It seems unlikely that the internet is self-aware, and therfore, it is unlikely that it can "know" anything.  I'm sure there is information generated by various processes that no human has seen, but I doubt that much of it has any real meaning apart from its involvment in computer processes.\n\nPS. No one is two words.

The first and most important thing you need to realize about the Internet is that you can find anything and anyone on the Internet that you can find in the real world.  The only difference is that in the Internet you have a greater deal of anonymity that you get in the real world.\n\nCan chat rooms be dangerous?  Most definitely.  Particularly channels that clearly are catering to younger children.  Pedophiles go where the kids are, and that is just as true on the Internet as in the "real world".\n\nDoes that mean you should avoid all chat channels? Not at all.  Just be aware of what you are doing and saying, and if you have small children, be sure to monitor their activity on the Internet.\n\nThere are several programs, as I recall, that allow parents to track what their children are seeing and doing while on-line.

im 14 ok and this subject always seems to come up alot in my house and in my friends houses.\n\na friend of mine just had to shut hers down because of her parents and i have mixed feelings about it\n\nkids think that its safe because alot of there friends are on it and they dont see the bigger picture \nother people they don't know are on it too\nbut they're oblivious to that fact.\n\nalthough even i think its alright to have one (you can have some special features such as setting your site to privite and only those who you have on your friends list can look at it) i do see where moms are coming from when they dont think its safe.

The big issue is freedom of speech and freedom of information.\nIn the United States, anyone is allowed to see or write essentially whatever they want.\nIn the privacy of their own home, Americans have no restrictions on what kind of content or news sources they can access.\nChina is very against dissent of any kind.  The government is worried that if the people are given unrestricted internet access they will be reading anti-government or anti-nationalist journals, newspapers, etc.  It also allows the people an (essentially) anonymous way to speak to each other rapidly.  \nSo right now companies like Google are starting to break into the Chinese market.  And Google seems to be bending to China's wishes to filter out content they don't want their people to be able to access.  A lot of Americans feel this kind of governmental control of information is unethical or even against the whole idea of the internet.

The biggest problem is the proliferation of false and misleading information.  Unfortunately there are many who use the net to spread rumor and misinformation to promote themselves and their own agenda.  It is very important to have peer reviewed information.  Another problem is the predator mentality that uses a wonderful tool to prey on others either financially or sexually.  There is always bad with the good, but it is up to individuals to protect themselves and be aware of what is out there.

I don't see one. But I'll keep my eyes open for good solutions. I believe the WEB has caused gigantic problems in our society. Our youth has suddenly come to the conclusion that having a link to a response somehow 'proves' it's true.

It is very tricky to answer. Yes it's a hard situation (no pun intended) the learning sites have routes to porn. Remember, the bill of rights was invented with no concept of internet and stuff, to stop the people posting the sites, you might be asking to tamper with our basic freedoms. This is an interesting topic.

Seeing as how it is current practice, the internet will not have anything listed, besides it is probably going to be classified information. The only thing google brings up is the issue and if it works, then the ACLU whining about it. \n\nIf you have to know, fill out a FOI request, (Freedom of Information) but do not be surprised if nothing is returned, or if you get a knock at the door.

For IE (internet explorer) click on the history icon on the standard button toolbar and check for what u want. I recommend Mozilla Firefox Browser which is better organised and can keep better records of such things, just click on tools, options and check the privacy tab. Presto you're home free. Have fun browsing, Cheers.

It depends on your view points on the law.  I feel the law is too involved in what we do and 'likes' to invade on our privacy.  I think that it also depends on if you really in fact will use it for it's purpose... pain!  I know a few people who take advantage of it being legal.  So you have to ask yourself:  am I really in enough pain?  Would you be using it for yourself?  Or with friends?  Selling it?

The internet is still such a recent phenomenon, that laws and policies are being created as we speak.\n\nBut unless you're pretty certain they'll be OK with it, you should ask someone if you can put a link to their website on your blog. That would  be the right thing to do from an ethical standpoint as well.\n\nA lot of people create 'banners' for other people to put on their websites as a link to their's. But some people don't mind if you put the URL.\n\nBottom line is, when in doubt check it out. I can't answer your question about the legal ramifications (see link, below). But my bet is that you could end up getting into some hot water with someone if they haven't given you permission prior to your adding the link. Why risk it? It's just a matter of asking.
