 Computer Ethics, Chapter 4: Questions 9-12.

 9.) What would be the benefits and drawbacks of limiting organizations to using only crude categories in their information-gathering practices?

 The businesses would become ineffective and would be displaced in the market by competitors without those limits. 

 10.) The five fair information practice codes are:
 a) Notice/Awareness
 b) Choice/Consent
 c) Access/Participation
 d) Integrity/Security
 e) Enforcement/Redress

 11.) Transparent policies would help bring forth a better understanding and helping find out what the public thinks about privacy.

 12.) The opt-in approach counters what appears to be unfair if not a deceptive strategy.  Opt-in treats people as rational beings capable of making decisions, rather than passive objects to be manipulated.


 Apply the ideas of Moor or France to “Case to Analyze:  a small matter of privacy,” in Computer Ethics and Professional Responsibility, p. 274.

 Using Moor's publicity principle, we can see that Mr. Small's rights were not protected.  He was not aware that personal data was being collected, analyzed, and disseminated.  The insurance company's tripling of rates reflects a standard far below that needed for information disclosure under Moor's Justification of Exceptions principle.  Also, Sharon Webb's confrontation and exposure did not meet the threshold outlined in Moor's Adjustment Principle. 


 This question applies to Floridi's "Right to be Forgotten: A Diary of the Google Advisory Council Tour." The right to privacy and for the right to freedom of opinion and expression seem to be weighed differently in Europe and the United States.  Explain.

 Europe has a strong history of efforts aimed at providing equal protection for individuals, including data gathering, processing, and retention.  The EU data protection directive issued in 1998 limited the transfer of data to parties without adequate protection or standards.  While explicit in the EU, in the US system, companies 'self-regulate'.  The US has fair information practice principles, but many companies chose not to comply with these guidelines.
