    This article talks about the Law of Unintended Consequences. The internet has existed for less than 20 years and now it is apart of everyone's daily lives. It happened so fast, and has such a huge impact its hard to tell if it is a good thing or if it is actually harming us. Now more people are stepping back and really looking at the impact it is having, and realizing that in some ways it isolates us rather than brings us together as a society.

    As technology becomes more popular, we begin to lose our privacy. The internet is becoming harder to avoid, and personal lives are becoming more public. Websites track your use of the internet- where you go, what you do, etc. In some ways this can be beneficial, as people cannot hide who they are anymore. IRS scandals, disease outbreaks, companies abusing power; all at our fingertips. This has sparked the debate between what is more important: your privacy? or our nation's security?
  • westonmate on 26 Jan 16
     
    This article explains that there is basically no debate anymore over privacy vs security; privacy lost long ago. With the advent of the "information age" privacy largely died quietly and without much thought. Now that things like Google and Facebook exist, and we spit out private information without much thought, the debate is over.

    There have been pushes to ban encrypted services online in order to try and prevent terrorists from secretly using such services to communicate. This article discusses three major points that we need to consider when discussing this issue; terrorists aren't using things like PS4's to communicate, despite what the rumors claim. When we apply back-doors to our encrypted services, we weaken them to attack. We need to think about this as Privacy vs security, not security vs security.

    Earlier this year, Edward J. Snowden, a government contractor, leaked classified documents to the news media that revealed the existence of top-secret government surveillance programs. We now know that the National Security Agency gathers phone logs and Internet data from millions of Americans as part of its mission to keep the United States safe.

    Between the 9/11 terrorists attacks and Edward Snowden's whistle blowing, American's have been debating over whether it is against our constitution to collect massive amounts of data on our citizens through internet uses and phone calls, or it our country's security is more important.
  • Daniel Andrade on 27 Feb 16
     
    Years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and two years after Edward Snowden's revelations about extensive U.S. government surveillance of phone and internet data, Americans have mixed and conflicting views about government surveillance programs. On the one hand, a majority of Americans oppose the government collecting bulk data on its citizens, others believe there aren't enough limits on what types of data can be collected.
  • Jesus Chino on 27 Feb 16
     
    Terrorism certainly created more fear in the west and Americans wanted to feel more safe. Even if it means sacrificing some personal freedoms so that the government catches the crimes before they happen. Recently, it's been seen that it has gotten out of control more than anticipated.

    Very good article, I am not sure its really a personal freedom, but I really enjoyed reading the article about schools preparing for the anti-bullying curriculum and talks about the Dignity for All Students Act, and this act is not just about the internet , but text messaging as well.

    This is blatantly against the first amendment by not letting the people of the internet have freedom of speech. The government is trying to control us in a way treat our forefathers did not envision for this country. This article discusses why it needs to be terminated.

    The United States government has been facing an intense amount of pressure, mostly from the entertainment and computer software publishing companies for years to find some method of stopping the online piracy that is allowing people to own copies of their merchandise for free.
  • Nadine Borwege on 28 Jan 12
     
    PIPA is short for Protect IP Act and SOPA is short for Stop Online Piracy Act. They are both really big issues facing our world today. Many people are taking things illegally such as music, movies, software, and et cetera without paying for it. And now the government as well as the people who made all those things are fed up. For years people have tried to stop the hackers and now they are trying again. Will it work? Who knows.

    SOPA and PIPA appear to have been very, very good for K Street. Companies that lobbied on the two bills spent at least $104.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, more than double the $49.3 million they laid out in the previous quarter, according to research by the Center for Responsive Politics.

    Don't celebrate the win over SOPA and PIPA just yet. There are a lot of even nastier items on the horizon. Going beyond what is on the internet, ACTA takes things a step further.
