Cyberbullying

At one point in our lifetime, we have either witnessed bullying or have been bullied whether it is in high school or elementary school. Bullies usually cause psychological or physical damage on victims. They usually humiliate victims in front of classmates. However, due to strict policies schools implement, bullying has decreased significantly in a school setting. Even though, traditional bullying decreased in schools, it has taken a new form and evolved from playgrounds to online bullying. In the article "Girl’s Suicide Points to Rise in Apps Used by Cyberbullies," it states that a girl committed suicide because she was being bullied online. It seems like cyberbulying is worse than tradition bullying because most of the time, the bullies cannot be identified.

Legal and Ethical issues

I do not believe that all information should be free. Producing new Movies, TV shows, songs etc. consumes a lot of time and effort. The viewers should pay to get them. And also people should avoid getting illegal copies of movies, songs, or TV shows, because I believe that it is very disrespectful and for the producer(s) who worked hard to make them.
In the article "YouTube alters copyright algorithms.." the author talks about how YouTube is trying to tighten their copyright policy.  Copyrights are very important because then nobody can steal anyone's creative ideas. I like how Google made Android an open source one. It is really helpful for xda developers and people like me; who are trying to learn about new technology.

Privacy and Security

In my opinion, the Internet is not private. PRISM is one of the programs that the NSA use to collect data. (U.S. British Intelligence mining data from nine U.S. internet companies in broad secret program) According to London’s Guardian newspaper, GCHQ, Britain’s equivalent of the NSA, also has been secretly collecting intelligence from the same internet companies through an operation set up by the NSA. It is very scary to see that the government is collecting private information. There is no privacy at all. I feel like there is always someone watching what I do on the internet every second.
Also, there are malware all over the internet and without you even knowing it, they might even get in your computer. In the article “Why Spyware Poses Multiple Threats to Security” by Thompson, R. says that these malware can gather information about an individual and sell them to different marketing companies. Privacy and Security is very important for an individual and it should not be taken away.
