| Privacy
if seen as a social value will help us protect it according too Deborah
Johnson in Computer Ethics 3rd Edition. Privacy has not been proved to
be a right. Privacy can be invade and protected. There is a new privacy
act in Canada as of this year.
The author will explore these
issues in this section of Web Page X. Using the facts gleaned from his
essay on hacking namely that Kant's ethics can not defend privacy he will
not explore the deontological ethics of Kant. He again will look at social
justice and his own situation as a home user of computers.
Various countries protect
privacy of their citizens in different ways. For the average Internet user
the laws and values of at least more than one country should be known to
act in cyberspace. We are citizens of the galaxy and as such we all need
to respect each other and the laws of other countries as well if our computers
even access web sites abroad. As a Canadian I grew up with access to American
Television and hope my experiences with foreign culture will enlighten
this look at on-line privacy protection and invasion. |
