Which of the following statements sums up how ethics and information systems relate the best?
a. In information systems, ethics mostly pertains to the technical elements of hardware design and software development.
b. Because information systems are just concerned with processing and storing data, there is no direct relationship between them and ethics.
c. Information systems ethics include considering the ethical ramifications of
using technology, including privacy issues and how it affects behavior in people.
d. Only legal requirements and compliance standards apply to information systems ethics.
Rationale: Option C is the correct answer. Information systems ethics cover the moral concerns of using technology in addition to technical issues. This covers matters like data processing responsibly, privacy, and the effect on how people act. The text illustrates how conventional ideas about confidentiality and power dynamics can be challenged by new technology, such as digital technologies, leading to issues of ethics. Thus, in developing and implementing information systems, it is essential to comprehend and address these ethical issues. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they fail to consider the wider ethical issues related to information technology. (Section 9.2)

Which of the following most accurate values up the legal issue raised in the Cambridge Analytica, Facebook, and Global Science Research case?
A) Facebook did not take precautions to protect its network from cyberattacks.
B) Illegal psychological research on Facebook users was carried out by Global
Science Research.
C) By selling user data acquired by trickery, Cambridge Analytica broke privacy rules.
D) Facebook failed to disclose to users the ways in which third-party apps gather information. Rationale: Option C is the correct answer. The improper handling of user data
is at the center of the Facebook, Global Science Research, and Cambridge Analytica case. Users gave their approval to be part of a psychological research study, however their information as well as their friends' data were taken without their knowledge or consent. An additional complicating factor in the privacy violation was the political usage of this data by Cambridge Analytica. Thus, inappropriate gathering and use of user data is the ethical dilemma in this instance. The main ethical issue raised in the scenario is not adequately captured by Options A, B, and D, so they are incorrect. (Section 9.2)

This is in line with the more general ethical precepts of upholding human dignity and guaranteeing the welfare of everyone impacted by technology. (Section 9.2)

b.
Rather than focusing on concrete outcomes, intellectual property laws are primarily concerned with safeguarding ethereal ideas.
c.
The quantity of patent applications submitted to the government's patent office has decreased because of the development of digital technologies.

The passage demonstrates how digital technology have increased the number of new intellectual property claims while also making intellectual property defense more challenging.

Applications for patents must be submitted to the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO). This procedure guarantees that inventive, practical, and original inventions receive patents. (Section 9.4)

True of False: An individual or organization that invents things but
does not aggressively pursue patent enforcement is known as a "patent troll."

This is usually accomplished by focusing on businesses or people who are thought to be violating the patents; frequently,
this is accomplished by interpreting the patent claims in a dubious or too wide manner. (Section 9.4)

d.
No NFT has ever sold for a price higher than $69 million.
e.
GIFs are not allowed in NFTs; only conventional kinds of artwork are.

user's computer, Canada does not have any laws against spamming because
they mostly handle corporate electronic messages. (Section 9.5)
