        • Information Flow and Privacy

          1.   Information Technology has facilitated the unprecedented flow of information.
            • It flows globally and in all directions
            • Scale of personal information is great. Much more is collected and new kinds are created.
            • Companies are interested in information
            • There are new kinds of information (transaction processing)
            • This information endures for long periods of time.
            • The effects of erroneous information are magnified. (d. Johnson 4th ed Computer Ethics)

          Answer this question:

          If Facebook is a context, according to Nissenbaum, should it have the right to share your information with its advertisers?

          Article Questions:

              1.)     Describe the difference between the Supreme Court’s decision in the Verizon case to the MGM case as it pertains to

                                     a.) privacy rights of individual P2P users               b.) property rights of copyright holders            2.) For music streaming, some of you use Spotify. Some of you use  iTunes to purchase music. What do you think is the most effective music distribution

                          method  that both upholds copyright and ensures contextual privacy?

                      3.)  Do you think that P2P services, like BitTorrent, should be pressured to loosen up their privacy policies in order to aid law enforcement? Or should they

                            follow Morpheus’ footsteps, only bending their policy for serious crime on the level of Child Pornography?

          Pick one of these situations and argue either For or Against the Proposal:

          1.  When you purchase a product or service using a credit card, the merchant has information linking you to the transaction.  Merchants should be required to follow an opt-in policy:  i.e, the policy would require the consumer explicitly to give permission before a merchant could share information about that consumer or his/her transaction with another organization. (Quinn)

          1. For the proposal
          2. Against the proposal

           

          2.  Every citizen in the United States should carry a national identity card.

          3.  Parents should implant microchips in their children to make them easier to identify if they are lost or stolen.

           

          1.  For the proposal
