Additionally, discuss its benefits and drawbacks in comparison to electronic payment systems that need authentication.
What Punishment for Webcam Spying is Appropriate?   Microphones, digital cameras, and webcams have many practical and harmless uses. These technologies also can leave you open to spying. For example, one school district used software, which was supposed to track the school-distributed laptops in case of theft, to take photos and scree captures of students. In another instance, a person noticed that when she gave a customer service rep access to her computer, he turned on her webcam without asking for her permission.   Cybercriminals can use spy tools take photos, or record video or audio, without turning on a light or other notification that indicates your camera or microphone is in use. The Flame virus is one way for spy tools to infect your computer. Security experts recommend using a sticker to cover your webcam and inserting a dummy plug in the microphone port when you are not using it. These technologies also allow people to take photos or videos in a public setting and share them…
Consider the following scenario: Users of a popular social media site upload photos and videos of themselves, friends, and family members. The site requires users to consent to having those photos and videos stored on the site's servers and displayed publicly. Later, users are upset to find out that the site is not just storing and displaying their photos and videos, but also analyzing them in order to develop facial and voice recognition software. Addressing the following questions, discuss this scenario with your fellow students. ▪ Did this social media site commit a breach of data/research ethics? ■ If so, what principles of data/research ethics are relevant here? ■ If you think the situation is ambiguous, what additional information would you need in order to make a decision? ▪ What should the social media site and/or its users have done differently at any point in this scenario, and what should they do going forward?
