  • In addressing issues such as the balance of power between individuals and the state, weighing the benefits and harms that result from a particular privacy-related practice, or considering whether privacy is a right that must be respected, you are engaging in a process of ethical analysis.

    • Jacob Nemirov
       
      An interesting take on privacy. The internet is an inherently public space though so is there a place for privacy online and if so how can the proper balance be achieved?
  • Increasingly, governments, corporations, and other entities are collecting information about you that you willingly or unknowingly give out online.

  • Sell your information to the highest bidder
    • Jacob Nemirov

Facebook, Google and the death of online privacy [Infographic] | memeburn - 0 views

    • Jacob Nemirov
       
      I found this Infographic was very good at explaining some of the most common issues we face with online privacy today. I was also unaware that Facebook and Google must comply with audits for 20 years. It is shocking to me and highlights the seriousness of the situation in my opinion of how our privacy and data have been compromised.

    • Jacob Nemirov
       
      This will remain true as long as instructions given to participants are clearly understood and that the results they give are monitored effectively.
  • Crowdsourcing is the process of getting work or funding, usually online, from a crowd of people. The word is a combination of the words 'crowd' and 'outsourcing'. The idea is to take work and outsource it to a crowd of workers.
