Invasion of Privacy

Ted Talks

From the ted talks present, they raise so many questions about privacy as the ted talk with Juan Enriquez talks about electronic tattoos. These told these companies about things about you no matter your status in your life. In a way, it's like someone stalking everything about you. Anyone can look at your information predict trends, and also download any of your records from just your face. Everyone's privacy due to electronic tattoos is gone. In a way, you're taking away people's right to privacy and ability to do what they want without gaining a negative reputation because with electronic tattoos everyone can see what you post and people can make assumptions about you or find "dirt" on anyone.

Another ted talk that I found extremely eye-opening to privacy was one of the third ted talks by  Christopher Soghoian in which he discussed telephones and how they were wired for surveillance. Anyone can be listening to any conversation you can listen to, any government or hacker that wants to crack into the telephone companies. Although iPhones made protection for your data, as well as whats app. Although governments are upset due to the encryption techniques are being used meaning these officials want to allow everybody's data to monitor. Which talks about how do we need to all use hacking-able phones, although no one would get our information. This is a prime example of what we need to do in order to protect at least some of our data and data that might be super confidential with our country. 

These issues are extremely important as they bring up problems that we are trying to solve currently. Issues that allow for people like you and me that people might use our electronic tattoos and find our credit scores and stalk our information to potentially steal our identity. Another issue is that our telephones are easily hackable allowing for people to stalk others and allow crime to potentially unfold on all of us as individuals. The government needs to look at all of these issues and determine that our privacy is important and is one of our constitutional rights.

 From which we are protected from search and seizures as that is our personal information that no government or our own government should be able to search and use against us. The fifth amendment also applies in which you have the right to protect your private information. All the information is shown I think it would be unjust if they didn't allow companies to employ encryption in their networks like discussed in the ted talk and also encrypting our electronic tattoos to make it more difficult for others to tap into our information. What we can do as people is control how much we put out there for the world to see, and restrict ourselves a little bit. As well as making sure that we are being more secure, and figuring out what to do in order to do so. Overall we as people need to educate ourselves.
