WiFi MonitoringIn this age of social media and smartphones, it can be difficult to maintain your privacy on the Internet- but have you considered how to maintain the privacy of your Internet connection? When traveling it is common to use unfamiliar Wi-Fi connections- at a hotel, airport, or coffee shop- but what confidence do you have that your Internet activities won’t be monitored? Proponents of monitoring point out that public space offers no guarantee of privacy and a business has the right to monitor Internet traffic to deny unsavory web pages. Privacy advocates counter that many of the most common Internet activities include private data-such as sharing photos and receiving e-mail- and that in offering public Wi-Fi to perform common Internet tasks, it is reasonable for a person to have an expectation of privacy. What do you think?Respond to all of the following questions:Does a company offering public Wi-Fi have the right to monitor the traffic on its own network? Does it have the right to read e-mails that are downloaded on that network? Does it have the right to record the passwords that are sent over that network? Where would you draw the line, and why? Defend your answers.Does the government have the right to monitor the Internet activities of its citizens? What data should the government collect about its citizens’ Internet use, and how long should the government hold on to that data? Defend your answers.Would your opinion change if you knew terrorists were using the Internet to plan crimes?
