Question

Response 3 and Response 4 are different so please leave a space or big area between both answers thank you

Response 3:

Questions

What are some things that you believe should be private? List at least three and briefly explain why for each item. Also for each, do you think that technology increases or decreases privacy? Briefly discuss how it does so for each item.

How important is privacy? Is it as important as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, etc? Why or why not?

Should privacy be protected? Why or why not? Who should be responsible for providing protection for privacy?

Response 4

Questions

Do the same standards apply to us? You probably have an address book database containing addresses, phone numbers, and perhaps birthdays of your friends.

What restrictions do you think there should be on how you collect and use such information? Should you need permission for each use? Should you provide an opt-in or opt-out choice for the people in your address book? Should you be required to remove anyone who asks to be removed? How reasonable are these requirements for individuals?

So there should be two different responses please lable them response 3 & 4 and leave space between. This is computer digital  ethics class

Answer 1

3: Privacy is as important as any other right because it restricts others from accessing secret data about any individual. The three things that should be private according to me are:

1. Unique Identification Information: It can be used to access a lot of data regarding an individual and can therefore be used in a mis-appropriate manner. This should be private. Technology tries to decrease the privacy for this as this needs to be shared by an individual and this is saved in the records and if not handled properly, it is vulnerable.
2. Contact Information: It can be used to bother and identify an individual and should not be shared publicly. Technology tries to assert privacy for it but in the long run has decreased privacy for it.
3. Any weakness/health issues: This can be harmful when disclosed publicly and is therefore best to keep them private. Again, technology has somewhat decreased the privacy for such things in the long run.

4: Yes, the same standards apply to us. The collection if such information should be solely based on permission of each individual and a permission may also be required for each use of it. An opt-in or opt-out choice for the people in your address book would also be helpful for those who do not want to share any information at all. Since, everyone has the right to privacy, we should immediately remove information of anyone who asks so. This requirement seems fair as they have their right to information and privacy at all times.
