ID theft, privacy and phishing
There is a big problem when organisations want to be secure but their employees want privacy.
How much we depend on the Internet is worrying. WikiLeaks shows the potential for online information to destroy reputations and lives but how much other information is also stored online that could be made public.
What people post on social networks can go too far, especially as social networks are private companies.
Political issues can really impact on the Internet as shown by government pressure on services that WikiLeaks used. This damages trust in the Internet for ordinary users.
We think that the biggest issue with the Internet is how people use social networking and the implications this has for privacy.
We feel that one of the biggest issues is the ethical dilemma behind making money from online activities while relying on advertising as people are unwilling to pay for content.
We think that one of the biggest issues facing the Internet is what to with leaked information and keeping information secure online.
I often wonder how different society would be without the craze of social networking. With over five hundred million members, Facebook has now become a compulsory part of society. It is mandatory to own a Facebook account if you are a University student.
