    Privacy and The Internet

  • Cable Communication Act of 1984

    Cable Communication Act of 1984
    The Cable Communication Act of 1984 protects the right of Cable costumers. This allows the cable costumer to have any info the cable company has on that person. The cable company also has to send a notice to the costumer if they want to use their info. I give this act a B- because it is protecting the right of the costumer but it still allows them to use their info.

  • Electronic Communication Privacy Act

    Electronic Communication Privacy Act
    This act that was passed in 1986 restricts the U.s governments use on wiretapping not only telephones but electronic Data. I give this an A- since this allows the government less freedom when it comes to wiretapping and allows us to be secure, but it still allows for wiretapping.

  • Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act

    Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
    This limits the government from spying on any person that is under 13 years of age. This is a good law but i give it a C- since the act only protects kids but it should be extended to atleast teens as well.

  • Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act

    Wireless Communications and Public Safety Act
    This act allows phone without service are allowed to call 911. It also has 911 be an emergency numebr. I give this an A since it allows for more lives to be saved since 911 will be easier to call.

  • A.B. 1844 Social Media

    A.B. 1844 Social Media
    This act prohibits employeers from requiring acces to their employees. I give this an D- because employeers should have access since they want to make sure they hire the right type of person and not somebody who does bad things in their social life.

  • Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code

    Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code
    This allows minors to allow minors to have info deleted from servers that are holding their info or social media sites. The 'eraser bill" is a B since this should extend to ages 14-16 since they to would like to have thier info from websites.

  • Obama’s Privacy Bill of Rights for Consumers

    Obama’s Privacy Bill of Rights for Consumers
    This a bill that alows the internet to remain a place where it can flourish and not a place where you are constantly being bugged with advertaisments. I give it an A since it will do alot of good by protecting the omsumer and not the company.
