1. What evidence does Google present for Chinese government censorship? Google says that Chinese customers and advertisers have increasingly been complaining about their Gmail service in the past month. Attempts by users to send messages, mark messages as unread and use other services have generated problems for Gmail customers. Google shows potential signs that the Chinese government is increasing their censorship by revealing that Gmail's e-mailing system features have been disrupted for Gmail users as well as other Gmail interfaces such as sending e-mails. Google also reveals that the users who filed in these complaints are mostly potential threats to the Chinese government such as the activist accounts also with financial, technology, media and chemical companies users' accounts. Thus, even though there is no concrete evidence, there are signs that are most likely to be linked to the Chinese government. 2. How does this impact the Jasmine revolution? The move follows extensive attempts by the Chinese authorities to crack down on the Jasmine revolution, an online dissident movement inspired by events in the Middle East. The censorship was supposed to prevent people from getting too much information but instead, this can provoke people to go against the government since people are aware that they have been treated unfairly. 3.

The Piracy Problem: How Broad? Why are copyright violations are a serious problem? Copyright violations are a serious problem because it is equivalent to stealing. A person who watches from free online movies doesn't realize that all the people behind the movie used their time, labor and energy to create that movie, not to mention the amount of money that was used to produce the movie. So, to broadcast it to as free movie is truly unfair for all the industries concerned. Describe two advantages and two issues with illegitimate downloading. Advantages: (1) People around the world who can't afford to have it have the option of having for free. (2) It is available anytime, anywhere in the world. Issues: (1) Million of dollars as revenues and earnings are stolen from industries (movie, music, TV, etc.). (2) It will cause the affected industries to increase the price of their "product" when purchasing it legitimately. Explain two possible solutions to this kind of piracy. Possible solutions: (1) If people around the world really see stealing as a morally corrupt practice, then let us all shun away from the use of the internet. (2) If we can't afford to avoid the disadvantages of the Internet, let us all practice, encourage and teach honesty. This golden virtue is the only potent cure against SOPA and PIPA. Not enough is being done to tackle cyberbullying, according to the NSPCC. Give examples of cyberbullying. Some examples of cyberbullying are the following: receiving nasty text messages or e-emails 24/7. Describe possible solutions. Some possible solutions are the following: students must not give their mobile number to acquaintances or other students who are their close friends; never chat to anyone whom you don't know; when you received nasty text messages from your mobile phone, change your mobile phone number right away; and lastly be very selective in choosing whom to friend in FB or in other social networks.

Read Heads-up. Describe two guidelines from each section that you think are relevant advice. May 9 kuni

Share with care Your online actions can have real-world consequences. The pictures you post and the words and the words you write can affect the people in your life. Think before you post and share. The advice, mainly for children, is that before you click to send email or when you're ready to post or send a message or a photo, download a file, game or program, or shop for something-stop for a second. Think about things like: Do you know and trust who you're dealing with-or what you're sharing or downloading? How will you feel if your information ends up somewhere you didn't intend? Get someone's okay before you share photos or videos they're in. Online photo albums are great for storing and sharing pictures of special events, and camera phones make it easy to capture every moment. Stop and think about your own privacy-and other people's-before you share photos and videos online. It can be embarrassing, unfair and even unsafe to send or post photos and videos without getting permission from the people in them. Interact With Tact Avatars are people too. When you're playing a game or exploring an online world where you can create a character and interact with others, remember real people are behind those characters on the screen. Respect their feelings just INTERACT WITH TACT like you would in person. Remember that your character or avatar is a virtual version of you-what does it tell people about you and your interests? Speak up. If you see something inappropriate on a social networking site or in a game or chat room, let the website know and tell an adult you trust. Using Report Abuse links can help keep sites fun for everyone. The Protection Connection Learn about social mapping. Many mobile phones have GPS technology, and there are applications that allow you to find your friends-and allow them to find you. Use GPS and social mapping apps only with people you know personally and trust. Take advantage of privacy features in

Agree or disagree? all feb 10 soobin

Agree Agree to some extent. Internet freedom can be sacrificed only to a certain extent to fight piracy. Getting rid of internet freedom is basically the same thing as shutting out the communication lines of the world. The source of the reason why piracy is done is mainly due to the fact that people can't afford the items that they wish to use, or need to use, because they are ridiculously overpriced. These industries don't think that way because they want profit, however, if piracy was stopped, then no one will buy their products anyways because they still can't afford it. Popularity of the product will decrease, and the marketing of the product basically just failed. We need to compromise something so that piracy is decreased until there is no more. But suddenly stopping everything in one shot with something like SOPA isn't the way to go. Disagree I disagree. The internet should be free and open. We need to educate people not to download pirated software, movies and music. Doing so is the same as stealing from a shop, which most people would not do. Most people would be prepared to pay small amount for the right to download these things. If governments try to remove websites, it is the same as censorship which sometimes happens in dictatorships but should not happen in free societies. We really need freedom for the internet, so that we can easily share our own ideas, and thoughts. Unlike China, where people can't even talk gossip about governments, which is a basic human right. But China is still very famous for internet piracy. The United States should not have the power to prevent freedom of internet because they are not the world's police force. They should not have the power to dictate what happens in the rest of the world. That's why internet freedom should not be sacrificed.

How does Facebook use the information people share to make money? Describe the issues that Facebook should address. all Dec 6 cream

How does Facebook use the information people share to make money? Facebook uses the information people share to make money by using the data to give to advertising companies, which in turn, pay Facebook for the data they receive so that they can target Facebook users with more individualized advertising. The advertising business can choose who they want ads to be shown to, customized to be relevant to the person's personal interests and likes. The more ads that users see on Facebook, the more money Facebook earns from the advertising company. Therefore, the exposure of the information people share to advertising companies, in order to place these advertisements, earn them money. Describe the issues that Facebook should address. Issues that Facebook should address include: Privacy - The privacy of users' and their data should be kept private, and the issue needs to be addressed where other online companies target the user data, where the user clicks to see pages, and their online activity even though the user may not be online. Reliability - The reliability of Facebook's security system should also be addressed. Facebook needs to address how users are aware or unaware of how their data is being shared through their friends' apps, or shared to advertising companies. Also, users would need to be reassured that their data isn't distributed to other third party companies.

Would you try a new network? all feb 10 nat

Personally I wouldn't try new networks, unless I have friends there. A lot of my friends are focused on Facebook, and I don't mind sharing my content with people I am friends with, as I usually decline requests from strangers, and are friends with people who I actually know or have mutual friends. However, I wouldn't mind giving Pinterest a go, as I think it sounds interesting, and also it sounds like Tumblr, which I like a lot, because we can share images with people with the same interest.

*Why copyright violations are serious problem?

Why are copyright violations are a serious problem? Major entertainment companies are losing millions and billions or money due to these copyright violations. More people are turning to online pirated goods instead of buying legitimately. These companies who are losing their profits are not happy about this problem. Describe two advantages and two issues with illegitimate downloading. One advantage is that pirated download saves you a lot of money. You wouldn't have to spend any money downloading these stuffs. Another advantage is that you can mass download it or download just some parts of it. For example if I wanted to listen to only one song of an album I can just download it off the internet for free, I wouldn't have to buy the real Cd which costs quite a lot of money and listen to only one song. Most artists today sell their Cd's for a high price but the qualities of their songs are not so high plus one Cd usually contains only 5 to 8 tracks. Comparing with the old times, one Cd contains about 15 to 20 tracks and it would still cost less and the songs do have good quality. An issue to this is that it is illegal. Downloading pirated goods are not so different from shoplifting or stealing. These goods have owners which the owners are willing to sell them but we who download them illegally are just taking them for granted. Another issue is that if this continues then the companies will not make as much many as before. This of course would affect the artists, celebrities, directors etc., directly. It can cause problems with jobs. If those people do not make money, then there would be no jobs. There are many jobs in the entertainment business which can be destroyed by this issue. Explain two possible solutions to this kind of piracy. One possible solution is to make it legal to download pirated goods. It may be the best solution possible at this moment. Many people are agreeing that it should be legal when it comes to downloading pirated goods. The enterta

Why might smart phones be costly? Explain two possible solutions. all Nov 23 Tik

Smart phones could be costly because it's download, upload and connect to the network almost all the time. People that use smart phones and don't have good deals or promotions,and people use data more than they think, so the phone company can cost the data that we download, upload with the network, and smart phones can do many thing that use a lot of data and it will cost a lot of money, for example sending 10 photos it's take 10MBand watch video on youtube it will take 15MB per video, etc. In this case the solutions are that users should make sure that they get the right deal or promotion, that they won't get a big bill in the end of the month. Secondly, there are people that use unlimit promotion, but every deal have a gap, so the phone company should tell their customers, or send the users a messages to warning them that they used data more than the deal they got.

What were the chinks in the blackout? Many people abroad offered the Egyptians internet though the terrestrial phone system, which was basically a dial-up system. Moreover, Google and Twitter launched a service where users can voicemail their tweets, which is then converted into text, to publish their tweets online. What are problems with cutting national and international cables? It will cost a lot in budget and maybe some damage too, because it is complex and expensive to build and run a kill switch. Explain the possible financial impact of blackouts. The financial, impacts the finance of the blackouts are that money transactions and deposits are affected by the suddenly cut line, which may cause problems to both local individuals as well as large companies that are trying to seal a business deal between each other. An intergovernmental think-tank in paris predicts that the cost of damage in Egypt for its network shutdowns was around $90million. Also, other international countries that are trying to invest in the country that has a blackout are most likely to rethink their decision, and take their investing plans to another more stable country. This affects the country as the whole since they will be losing investors in their country. This would also affect the economy as rates change, the amount of people (tourists) flowing in and out of the country including business groups. How can a blackout backfire? A blackout can backfire its government because it can cause the citizens to view the government's act in a bad way. Cutting of connections will people will stop trusting its government, and would want to overthrow their leader/government. Moreover, This is somewhat a loss for the government. They wouldn't want their citizens to go up against them. Thus, citizens play a major role on how a blackout can backfire. The cutting internet doesn't help at all.
