Description

1. Privacy is a concept that is rapidly evolving in relation to the most public of mediums, the Internet, which became even more super-charged with social networking websites. In a recent California election, one ballot measure, Proposition 8, asked voters a question on marriage. Donors to the Prop 8 campaign found that their names, addresses, and amount of contribution were masked up with Google Maps and thus rendered into a format showing the world a map image of donors’ names, street addresses, and dollar contributions. All this data is public record information already, but still quite inconvenient to access. What are the side effects of this action?

2. For apps to be featured on the iPhone, developers must build it with Apple’s software development kit and then apply for approval. Apple rejected the Google Voice iPhone App, and further stated that it would not accept any applications that incorporated Google Voice functionality. Apple reasoned that this app duplicates the phone’s core features. It also rejected Google’s location-based app Google Latitude. If you were developing a collaborative platform, do you think the best model is this collaborative model, or is the open innovation model better – if your main goal is to maximize innovation? What if your main goal is to make money?

3. Plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit against investment banks alleging that they inflated prices on more than 300 IPOs, causing IPO investors to overpay for stock, and unlawfully benefited these banks through overcompensation of banking commissions and profits made through quick sales of this stock in their own accounts before prices settled into a more realistic valuation. How would you combat such abuses going forward?

PRIVACY AND INTERNET

The right to privacy is one of the rights stated in the constitution that should be
enjoyed by the citizens of America. Following the exposure of the list containing the
marriage ban donors in California, the side effects of the exposed list were felt by the
supporters who sought to ban same-sex marriage.

The list provided their personal

information of where they lived and the contributions they had made to ban same-sex
marriage. Since the information was regarded as public record information, the side effects
of the exposed list included harassment of the supporters by the person affected by the
marriage ban. Also, the harassment of the donors was a breach of the individuals'
constitutional rights to free speech and assembly. The patrons were threatened, and their
properties vandalized. Others went through physical violence and were blacklisted due to the
exposure of the list (McKinley, 2009).
A collaborative model will evolve through practice and will suffer a lot of criticism.
Hence the model would not be better when compared to the innovation model. However, the
innovation model will suffer some disadvantages since...
