Video 1 Juan Enriquez

Big data, Tattoos, Immorality, and Greeks. How do they relate to internet safety?

Tattoos tell a lot of stories, such as what you believe in, intimate moments of your life, and ///. Technology is electronic tattoos saying who and what you are, just like tattoos. They are easy to abandon the recolection?? of consequences, and both will never fully be deleted or gone.

An important theory Mr. Enriquez speaks about was the Andy theory relating to today's day in age due to social media and technology monitoring: In the future, everybody in the future will be famous for 15 minutes.

In relation to the Greeks, Mr. Enriquez has 4 theories:

1. Sisyphus did a bad thing, causing the rock to roll up but then back down, relating to reputations going up and down.

2. Orpheus party singer, charmed his way to the underworld, and was released because of his beauty, but couldn't look at Eurydice until he was out of the underworld, correlating that you should not look too far into the past of those you love.

3. Atlanta was the greatest runner, and challenged anyone; if you beat her, you could marry her, but if you lost, you would die. One challenger ran behind her but rolled apples, in front of her to distract her and then won the race. Golden apples come when you want to repost, tweet, or send a text to someone, but sometimes the best thing is to do nothing because what you do can cause you to lose a race.

4. Narcissus: don't fall in love with your own reflection. Yes, you may be gorgeous or handsome or think a picture's "post worthy" but remember whatever you put onto the internet will be there forever.

In the second video we learned how advanced military weapons are being used by police and surveillance equipment to gain sensitive info from the people. Satelights and street cameras track how your driving and can always tell you what to do or where u go, and they base the kind of person they think you are based on where you go.

Even police cars keep records of every car plate that passes by. Why can the gov track us without permission? The gov deletes the data later, but the police department keeps it.

The ending question of this video was, what we should do about this, and is it a civil security threat.

In this Ted talk video we learned about the wire tapping assistance to government. 

Most governments build surveillance features into the core of the network as time has progressed, no call is private now, someone is always listening or hacking into the system later.

Silicon Valley companies build strong encryption tech in products to make it difficult to survey iPhone texts that can't be easily tapped. 

Government officials aren't happy that it's harder to tap into phones, and tech companies definitely encryp the info. 

While in the United States we might be more protected officials in the United Kingdom think phone message should be official to the government.

This ted talk was about a missed call from an ex-husband and was told to go to website and found her leaked naked photos. Her stalker ex bf made a website with her name and her naked photos while she was sleeping.

1/25 women are impacted by revenge porn, 1/10 under 30 women has been put through this. The Enough Act Senator Kamala Harris criminalizes revenge porn, but still has not been passed. Only 40 states and DC have fines for revenge porn about $500. And 51% of women have consider suicide because of this.

Because he was stalking and harassing from another country,  it made the process harder to get the photos leaked removed and sue him. Regardless of boarders and restrictions therer should be laws against it. 

To simply have her own photos that were stolen removed she had 3 occasions of invasion through America and Jamacia embassy and go through her electronics to remove photos. 

In the end the ex husband got charged and can face thousands of dollars in fines and 10 years in jail.

What are your thoughts does the governmtn need more access to our peresonal date and information or less?

Values of Freedom of Expression: Stable Change

Values of Freedom consist of 8 topics: Marketplace of Ideas, Participation in Self-Government, Stable Change, Individual Self-Fulfillment, Check on Governmental Power, Promote Tolerance, Promote Innovation, and Promote Dissent. 

Stable Change, the belief that allowing citizens to freely speak and or "vent" causes people to be less violent due to having a way to express their feelings and emotions without doing physical damage. 

As Americans, we are protected under the 1st Amendment, stating Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. 

Research by the Cato Institute supports the idea that governments' lack of free speech in communities and the silencing of citizens leads to conflicts and disagreements turning violent because there is no other way to express their dissent. 

Stable change resonates with me the most because we have the right and power as people of the United States of America in a democracy to say how we feel online or in person. Censoring media to what we can and can not say would infringe on the rights given to us by our forefathers and fought for by our military over the years. 

In the United States, yes, we have protests along with riots, but more peaceful protests than anything, especially compared to countries that do not allow that and then go straight into riots. Countries that lack the civilians' freedom to openly express their feelings usually skip the protest stage and go straight to riots, as they know words are not heard or valued.

In countries such as Europe, people who speak out against the government suffer from being asset freezing. North Korea, citizens can "disappear" or be sent to prison camps where they are subjected to inhumane treatment, and there have even been speculations of public executions. Without the freedom to speak freely without fear of execution, how, as a person, can you fully feel fulfilled in life? 

The value of freedom, Stable Change as a future Journalist is sacred to me because it impacts the future of my job. If we are not able to report on the facts of a government official or the president to the people because it offends them or could cause protest, how would I be able to complete my job?

My career path aside, as Americans, it is your 1st Amendment right to protest the government, and if we feel it to overthrow, because a prerequisite for democracy from the Declaration of Independence is that the government gets its power only through the consent of the governed. 

My question to you all is that do we not resolve conflicts by hearing one another out? If a large number of people feel that their voices are not being heard or taken into account, will that not grow resentment or unrest? In my opinion, it does, which is what can cause things to escalate to violence, because words could not be spoken or heard instead. 

Top 5 Sources of News

In a world where information can be spread quickly through word of mouth or social media, it is necessary to have reliable sources of information. In regard to social media, it is not bad to find out about a situation happening, but the information being told is not always true and at times can be biased or outright wrong. The best sources of information is /// or non bias news sources, or, in today's age, as unbiased as you can find.

NBC news, considered a center-based media with a bit of left-leaning bias. When it comes to visual News, this is my usual form of gaining information on my television. 

BBC is my first form of written news. BBC News Charter statement of news, supporting all people, creativity and high quality, and respect and serve all communities, aligns with my personal beliefs. Along with this, it is not an American news station that releases it without American political bias. 

Reuters is where I value scientific information. Since High School, and looking through charts or graphic data, I have been through this site, and I have grown to value this source of news. 

Wall Street Journal is more business-centered news.  This station is more centered or right-leaning leaning but for the most part, stats can't lie. It tells what is not only happening in American business but all across the globe. 

<P>

ABC is my usual nighttime television news. As an overall centered media with a slight bias to the left, it does the job of reporting
situations.
