One morning last year, as Barbara Luck sat at her computer terminal, two supervisors came by with an unusual request. They handed her a bottle and told her to produce a urine sample.Luck was one of

This article talks about the FBI was denied access to monitor a mans computer. The reason being is that the feds did not have enough evidence to provide to the judge.

Is privacy real? Google records websites visited on computers to pop up ads, that's how they make their money. Privacy is seeming less like a right and more of a goal. With surveillance of the government are infringing more upon citizens privacy. Why should the government be able to view our emails when Hillary Clinton deletes all of hers and is backed by the FBI?

I completely agree. I feel that privacy is a mere illusion in our society. Just because their is no paper trail, does not mean that there is no digital fingerprint. The government has always been a double-standard in how they have the power to make the rules, and yet they break them. People like Hillary just have more connections and the means to get themselves out of trouble.

This was a very interesting article. It does give a lot of truths about how the goverment has gone behind our backs and gone through people's private information at times. It is not fair at all for the government to be doing something like this without reasonable suspicion and a court order.

Is the loss of civil liberties worth the convenience of technology?

Technology has and will always be a huge part of my life. Having grown up with a brother heavily into gaming, programming, and IT work I got to see first hand the in's and out's of how the web works. It all comes down to how you manage your own security. Of course, there will always be the paranoia of being monitored but that has been happening for a long time. It all comes down to being cautious with what you do alone and or over technologies.

This book captures the many facets of information gathering by digital dossiers. It reminded me of the recent unveiled programs called Tempora and Prism used by the United Kingdom and NSA. The extent of these programs capacity to siphon user data iset deeply guarded and not known in detail, however the dossiers gathered by our internet traffic on an individual basis should alarm users. I belive privacy is priceless, if I told my grandfather who passed in 2006 the extent we divulge our personal information on social media he would probably find it unbelievable. He was born in 1920 became an officer in the United States Air Force and served in WW2. The idea of privacy has changed with each generation. The way we perceive the handheld devices we all carry as young as the age of 5, may seem to our greatest generation who is currently exiting our society as a mere tracking device for big brother. This reading was very informative.

Since 1972 the ACLU has been working to secure gender equality and ensure that all women and girls are able to lead lives of dignity, free from violence and discrimination, including discrimination based on gender stereotypes.

The fact that women and other people in our country and other countries have to even fight to be equal is disgusting. We are all the same and deserve to be treated the same. The fight must continue.

It is crazy to think that in 2017 that we as humans can't treat one another the same as you would want to be treated yourself. I am not a woman but I do have a wife and daughter that I would hate/despise if they were treated any less than myself for any reason.

This article talks about freedom of speech not being allowed in China until this day. Although, the internet has played a major part of China speaking their minds.

Should the FCC respect Net Neutrality? This article will give readers an idea of how they can be affected.

My concern over the repeal of net neutrality is the power it gives conglomerates over "use." we have all been subject to EULA contracts from things like computers and even kitchen appliances, and ISPs are no different. Removing net neutrality laws will silence vocal minorities, as well as curb online activism- where movements like the BLM organization were created and continue to flourish.

hello, I also posted an article about net neutrality. It is sad that it was repealed and many corporations could make a lot of money. Net Neutrality is so important, especially in the modern world.

Companies are figuring out that employees are filling up their hard drives with internet games. These games are causing their work computers to have less space and not have enough room for work-related content.Monitoring their employees will eliminate the downloading of games and illegal music.

Bullying has taken on a dis ques behind social media. Bullying has now a even bigger platform with ability to reach millions with the help of social media.

People are too afraid too confront others, so they go online and make fun of them instead. When we are behind our phones or computers we feel a lot more comfortable and don't think much about it. Cyber bullying is wrong and hurts others emotionally.

I am also glad that this was an article posted. This is such a growing issue, and has been for sometime. It's extremely unfortunate that school are part of this, and when these children go home they can't find solace because of the internet and all the social apps created.
