Our Class Wiki - So Far

I had did some research for the wiki contribution. I found out that it’s very interesting when people talking about privacy in the Internet. Some of people think that they don’t have any privacy in the Internet since the Internet is a many-to-many network. Everyone who has access to the Internet has the opportunity to reach any of person who also has access to the Internet. Therefore, these people believe that there is no privacy in the Internet at all, so why do they care about privacy in the Internet. They also believe that as long as they didn’t do anything bad, they will be fine. However, the truth is, even though these people didn't do anything that will harm others, there is still has some chance that they may get into trouble because of use of the Internet (Johnson, Deborah G.; Computer Ethics). For example, people who like to shop online may easily expose their private personal information and these information was used by some people to commit crimes. At this time, the information’s owner may be taken to the policy and waste their time for explaining innocent. Hence, they still get hurt or be harm even though they did not do anything bad.

These are the information that I had collected for the wiki contribution. Basically, I am going to focus on the opinion from people’s view to the privacy in the Internet. Later, I will find more information relate to this topic and submit the work on the wiki together.
