Comments on: Could you have privacy in the internet? http://brianrowe.org/IMT550/2010/01/28/could-you-have-privacy-in-the-internet/ Class Blog for IMT 550, Winter 2010, @ UW Ischool Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:55:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: JSun http://brianrowe.org/IMT550/2010/01/28/could-you-have-privacy-in-the-internet/comment-page-1/#comment-147 JSun Fri, 26 Feb 2010 05:09:30 +0000 http://brianrowe.org/IMT550/?p=163#comment-147 For the traditional communication methods like mails sent by post office, I think the privacy could still be owned by people. Since if the seal is broken, people will know their privacy is infringed and they could use relevant laws to protect their rights. But as more surveillance and tools are added, people are losing their private life without even noticing this. And there isn't an effective privacy related legislation to regulate activities such as the phone call monitoring or taking street view pictures for map search. Then the default be private in day to day life will not be for long. For the traditional communication methods like mails sent by post office, I think the privacy could still be owned by people.

With so much power in collecting information and without effective privacy-protecting laws, Google could do more evil rather than "do no evil". The video you shared is so funny.

Why is this? Is it that information is not published automatically in day to day life? if we add more surveillance and tools that create content will the default be private in day to day life for long? “In the real world, people respect privacy and can keep most of their personal information under control.”

Everyone knows how fast internet technology develops these days, and with this trend, privacy violation is also evolving the ways to infringe personal information. In the beginning, the infringement started with a small computer virus which just crashes the hardware or software. After that, the virus grew to malware to steal personal information or to break your computer, and now we can find private information about you from the internet in a few minutes. I also found one <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPgV6-gnQaE" rel="nofollow">video</a> from the YouTube which indicates how much privacy might be infringed in a near future.
