In principle, non-governmental entities have much greater latitude in connection with the line separating individual privacy and corporate action in collecting and disseminating information (Larsen, 2007). For example, the Supreme Court very recently ruled that government law enforcement agents may not conduct warrantless tracking of individuals, such as through the use of tracking devices on private motor vehicles (Levin, 2012)
On the other hand, businesses such as major search engines like Google, cellular telephone service providers, and government authorities alike that depend on information collection and analysis point out that there is a fundamental difference between data such as the conversational content of conversations or the identity of recipients and data such as the triangulated physical location of the user based on signals emanating from digital devices (Larsen, 2007). The 27 nations of the European Union have recently moved in the direction of resolving that issue in favor of the importance of protecting individual privacy rights over certain digital information (Sengupta, 2012)
Internet Privacy Issues The digital revolution has already changed contemporary society in numerous ways. One of the more important emerging issues is the need to balance the privacy concerns and rights of individuals against the rights of government and private sector entities to collect, store, and share various types of digital information about individuals, especially without their consent (Stein, 2011)
Russell is by not acceptable by any means or measure as the overall rate for complications in gastric bypass are usually less than ten percent, let alone deaths. Even lower-skill surgeons see rates only in the teens (Birkmeyer, 2013)
. Risk to Internet Privacy In today's technological world, millions of individuals are subject to privacy threats (Bamberger & Mulligan, 2011)
In late 2007, Facebook launched the Beacon program where user rental records were released on the public for friends to see. This initiative was cancelled, though, following a lawsuit from a nonprofit foundation that challenged Facebook's right to aggregate and disseminate personal information in this fashion (Brodkin, 2009)
These trends have created an entirely new set of expectations for privacy, especially when people are in public places. Although surveillance cameras have become almost ubiquitous following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the use of digital cameras in cell phones and other wireless mobiles devices has become commonplace and the chances of digital images finding their way into the global information stream has increased as a result (Buchholz & Rosenthal, 2006)
These issues have become even more salient because of the proliferation of social networking sites as discussed further below. Privacy within social networking sites Currently, there is a wide array of social media networks available, including social sharing sites such as YouTube and Flickr and social networks such as Linkedln and Facebook (Hensel & Deis, 2010)
Laws need to be defined which would articulate not only what needs to be done but also how things have to be carried out. Guidance and guidelines for best practices need to be presented to both companies and governments (Andrew, 2011)
In order to avert and thwart future attacks from hackers, the security agencies have got to gather tons of information from the internet and analyze it for possible patterns, relationship, potential suspects as well as linkages. The breach of privacy can be completely rationalized by working for a higher purpose (Aquilina, 2010)
The highly seasoned and well protected software can't offer security if certain fundamental values aren't followed by the book (Gellert and Gutwirth, 2013). Citizen's Privacy for government organizations and data security for private firms, both are two sides of the same coin (Asinari and Poullet, 2004)
On the other hand, the large amount of private and confidential information going over the internet all across the globe regardless of the boundaries needs specific consideration. The security managers should know that PPD directive is basically neutral (Bambauer, 2013)
The IS managers and IS departments should administer a number of principles, which increase the validity and reliability of their governance. The governance principles should show the good values the company or the government organization has and its wondrous workflow within this globalized and interconnected environment (Bennett and Raab, 2006)
These issues have materialized in the preceding decade and the demand is urgent to solidify a legislation which is tasked in dealing with social and lawful issues connected to the internet (Gellert and Gutwirth, 2013). Keeping in mind public security, laws need to be drafted which not only criminalizes new forms of information breaches but also presents regulations that make companies and organizations place measures that prevent breaches to take place in the first place (Brown, 2012)
Subsequently, another media outlet leaked a long list of identities of secret agents and informants on the internet for everyone to see. The list was an instant hit on the Internet (Craig, 2014)
But human rights issues materialize due to storage, collection and exchange of personalized information. Sticking a balance between the 2 is a labyrinth required sustained efforts and paradigm shifts with the changing times and technologies (Dong-Joo and Youngsok Bang, 2011)
Violation will occur in any case otherwise, as legal action can be taken. According to the Directive, only information needed will be taken from the person and returned back (Dwork, 2011)
In the end Information processing systems and technology plays a pivotal role in the human life and society on the whole as they create a personalized social environment. Private firms and governmental organizations need to draft regulations that put in place control over data flow so that security in social networking becomes concrete and reliable (Edwards and Brown, 2009)
The security managers should also be aware that in any case otherwise, if the user has given his confidential information to the concerned agency, it's called visible form of gathering information. The person has full right to know the rationale and risks included in this task (Eijkman et al
There are tons of merits of Internet for that matter while its demerits have been ignored and hidden along the sidelines. These issues have materialized in the preceding decade and the demand is urgent to solidify a legislation which is tasked in dealing with social and lawful issues connected to the internet (Gellert and Gutwirth, 2013)
