Chapter 5

Questions to Consider

1. Does sexting represent a form of expression that is protected by the First Amendment?

Sexting is somehow too considered as a freedom of speech, which is valid in form of expression. It is how adults and teens express feelings towards others.

2. What can be done to protect people from the dangers of sexting while still safeguarding our First Amendment rights? 

It is safe to avoid the pornographic images/videos to public and stay private to your friends. It is an inappropriate and illegal for teens to participate in sexting, to avoid these incidents maybe we should avoid distributing pornographic images/videos to stop attraction to child.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)

Questions to Consider

1. Visit the EFF Web site at www.eff.org and develop a list of its current “hot” issues. Research one EFF issue that interests you, and write a brief paper summarizing EFF’s position. Discuss whether you support this position and why?

According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights advocacy group based in the US, there has been a proliferation of these phishing attempts on Facebook in recent weeks. For example, links have been slipped into the commentary boxes on pages visited by cyber activists; links which redirect the user to a fake page on the well-known social network, with a view to stealing their user names and passwords. I chose this issue because it concerns me on how this phishing incident widely spread on social network sites; even I was a direct user on different sites that concerns my privacy.

2. What reasons might a firm give for joining and supporting EFF?

As an involved in social networking site, it concerns me on how cyber activist are aggressive in stealing social networking accounts, who even my friend, family, relatives and I can be victim in this scenario.

3. The vice president of public affairs for your midsized telecommunications equipment company has suggested that the firm donate $10,000 in equipment and services to EFF and become a corporate sponsor. The CFO has asked if you, the CIO, support this action. What would you say? 

If I the CIO support this action I am be serious about how the situation of slow delivering of communication occurs on daily to the people’s needs. I would be happier to continue the donation to EFF for a better midsized telecommunications.
