Unit 13 Security & Privacy

1-The video No Place to hide is not operational.
2-Interesting paper with lots of websites to link to for further information.
3-This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Viacom International Inc.

Jeffrey Rosen-Is Privacy Dead?
Presents some interesting points on US & UK views of surveillance; believes these can be reconciled.
Facebook: Scary what facebook can do with material once posted. "Big Brother" & "1984" rolled into one.
Jonathan Zittrain-The Future of the Internet
Fascinating, humorous, and serious look at where the Internet is going. We probably need to have someone help get rid of the hackers, spammers, virus/worm writers that destroy sites and steal data. While trying to cultivate creativity, what can be done to protect form those who want to use the Internet to destroy.

Glad to see I wasnt the only one who saw the video wasnt operational. I have to agree with you on Facebook and what can be done with the material once posted. It is interesting to note that people who have grown up with the technology of Facesbook, My Space, etc. are now realizing the "Big Brother is Watching" what started out as fun--post pics and blog about their lives has turned into potential employers, etc looking into their past--ones that they have easily provided.
