  • Secondly, governments hold confidential information. Both data from its individual citizens and country specific security data. As all information becomes digital and available to anyone who cares to see it, security breaches are inevitable. And while many corporations have had scandals regarding customer information being leaked or hacked, governments are more susceptible, as they rarely attract the best IT people in the field as employees. Again, they tend to react after the fact rather than proactively.

    Voting electronically is only possible in four of the 26 cantons in the next election: Geneva, Basel City, Lucerne and Neuchâtel In a press release last month, the government said an audit of the electronic voting system developed by American company Unisys revealed major security flaws in the protection of voting secrecy.

    The article is about how e-voting Switzerland, and how the government there is not allowing the entire country to use American companies e-voting, as they believe they can be hacked into. The main issues that come from it is reliability of these machines and if you can trust the Companies that own them. With these machines (e-voting) they have the problem of being hacked, which instead of causing problems for a small percentage of votes, can cause a major problem for the entire thing. There is also the problem of the people who own the company, and the reliability with them. They have control of the machines and in doing so, have control of the votes within them. This means they can alter votes in favor of the one side that benefits them more, or can sell this ability to the highest bidder. One way to solve this problem is that you develop local open software. In conjunction with this openness of this software, you hold mini rewards for people who can break/hack the system and then explain how they did it. The primary stakeholders are the citizens as their choices/votes are the main target here. The government as trying to get the most accurate feeling of what the people want. The It systems the article describes are those of; e-voting machines as well as mentioning web-based voting.

    This is a serious social and ethical issue. People have no idea who is going to be able to see their private medical information. Although the British need to trust both the UK government and Google to do the right thing with their data.

    absolutely there is no privacy anymore. What would be the impact of sharing such critical information on patient. Who can see this database? who can edit it?

    We want to tell the story of the Egyptian revolution with the same tools that helped share it with the world in realtime. We want #18DaysInEgypt to be a crowd-sourced interactive documentary of the events in Egypt from #Jan25 to #Feb11.
