5.4 - Two web sites blocked by filters that are not the kinds of sites filters are intended to block are the spam on email messages, and commercial advertising spam.
5.5- two methods used by some governments to control access to information is they censor sexual and other material on the net.
5.7- two reasons why people object to spam is because they see one advertisement that has a city close to them and want to check it out, and people see something cheap that they need and check it out and then they get spam.
5.11- I believe the policies for Internet access and use of filter software that is appropriate for elementary schools is that they should filter out any website that has sexual or other material, and any friend finding sites. For the filter in high schools I believe that the school should filter out any sexual or other material but keep friend finding sites open because this is there time and they need to start to make their own decisions.
5. 14- I believe that the school should have been on top of the children. They should be able to check the sites every day after school and be able to know that they children are looking at these sites. The children made the wrong decision of looking at this site and even trying to make the bomb. "these are really dangerous sites..." yes this is a true statement and they shouldn't have been looking at it in the first place or thinking about putting it in the school. If they were thinking about it they shouldn't have put it in the school and they should have checked how powerful the bomb was because why would they put someone in danger.
5. 15- There should be no law restricting availability of such material on the internet. The internet is for people to look up things that they are curious about. Just because one person doesn't believe in a different religion doesn't mean that there should be a law. People should be able to look up what they please outside of school or work. They should be restricted in school because it is inappropriate but outside of school there should be no problem doing what you want. There is no difference between sexual material, sexist or racist comments, or bomb making on the internet. People have ethics. They need to know whether or not they want to look at something because it will either come back to them in the future or not. They need to think about things and it all counts on the person who is looking at the internet page.
5.17- A issue that is raised by this problem is that terrorist would be able to find our satellites. People would be frightened and might protest against this. Others might say that this is good because then the US will be able to see everything and that they are always looking over us. Posting satellite orbits should not be illegal because they are always looking over the US and can see everything. It should only be illegal if the orbits could not see everything. It is a stronger argument with having the orbits be legal because this is what the US thought was good and they did this for a reason.
5. 18- If harris interactive had not dropped its suit against the ail abuse prevention system then the people would have received its emails and Harris would have meet its standards for assuring the recipients consent, Harris had claimed it was recommended for the spammers listed by a competing poling company. Harris claimed inclusion on the list cut it off from about half of its survey participants and harmed its buissness and it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for buissness.

A gift of fire questions
1.15:
a. This is a positive right because this man has the right to his own sex life and his health insurance taking this away from him is taking away his happiness.
b. This is a negative right because there is no law against criticizing other people and these legislators lost not because of the organization but because of their own selves.
3.9:
This is not illegal because these customers gave away their email addresses not knowing what the company would do with them. They gave away their email addresses on their own and it was up to the company what to do with them.
3.10:
the biggest threat to the CALEA was the threat of privacy and security of electronic commerce. The strongest arguments against the CALEA are that the problems with them include threats to privacy and civil liberties, the large potential for abuse by government, and side effects that threaten the security of electronic commerce and the global competitiveness of US industry.
3.11: The carnivore is needed because is maintain its control over cryptography and access to communications, the government has regularly used secrecy.
3.16: A positive right would be that nobody else would be able to read it because it would be encrypted and only the person that would be able to decrypt it would be able to read it. A negative right would be that if you sent it by accident and it was encrypted the email would be useless.

Exercises 2.10-2.17
2.10-no this is not a violation because the child is not identified and neither is the individual school.
2.11- a. This is a good policy because it wouldn't be safe if someone can get a random number on the Web. This would be a privacy violation because if that person does not want someone to have their number they could easily do so. But, it could be very easy for someone to get a number that they really need which is convenient.
b. Making them available on the Web could change their use and impact because it would be easier to get the number but also it could be bad because their could be stalkers that could get their number and find where they live through that.
2.12-a. No because either way the employee was very mad and would have tried to find the files so they could publish them to the public.
b. Since this person found the files on a computer it shows that the computer was not password protecte and that this person got into the system very easily. If there was a password this person may have not been able to find the files.
2.13-a. The city might support the buisnesses not doing what they were asked to do as in pay their fee. The buisness owners might find this a privacy violation because they are being "broken into" because they are looking through their files to try to find something against them
b. I believe this should be permitted because the buisness owners need to learn that they need to pay their fee to the city if they did not do so.
2.14-I believe that this is wrong because if some people do not know what they are they dont want to be labeled as this. If the FBI or the IRS makes this data base they will be able to use this against the person if something like a murder happens because they will see their political side. And this is violating privacy rights because they can see their politcal views which are sometimes private like if marijuana and how they feel about it.
2.15-Some advantages of expanding the database would be that everyone can see the database and not have to feel like they are not a part of it as everyone else. Some privacy violations is that the people in the database believe that their info is only to the National insurance crime Bureau could see.
2.16-They might want the social security to make sure that the passenger is actually who they say they are. Some possible risks is that if their system was broken into all the passengers social securitys would be on that database and they would be able to see and maybe take them. This proposal is not a good idea because there are many risks with doing this. People could lose them and there could be problems if there was a hacker.
2.17-When the people at the airports can search you if you look suspicious is against the fourth amendment because it is a unreasonable search.
