Based on the information presented in these two articles, develop a brief $3-4$ slide presentation addressing ethics and privacy in today's technological world. Address ethics and privacy for individuals, social groups $($i$.$e$.,$ race, gender, nationality, etc.$),$ and businesses On internet privacy, be very afraid Liz Mineo Harvard Staff Writer August $24,20179$ min read 'Surveillance is the business model of the internet,$\text{'}$ Berkman and Belfer fellow says In the internet era, consumers seem increasingly resigned to giving up fundamental aspects of their privacy for convenience in using their phones and computers, and have grudgingly accepted that being monitored by corporations and even governments is just a fact of modern life. In fact, internet users in the United States have fewer privacy protections than those in other countries. In April, Congress voted to allow internet service providers to collect and sell their customers' browsing data. By contrast, the European Union hit Google this summer with a $$2\mathrm{.}7$ billion antitrust fine. To assess the internet landscape, the Gazette interviewed cybersecurity expert Bruce Schneier, a fellow with the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society and the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School. Schneier talked about government and corporate surveillance, and about what concerned users can do to protect their privacy. GAZETTE: After whistleblower Edward Snowden's revelations concerning the National Security Agency's $($NSA$)$ mass surveillance operation in $2013,$ how much has the government landscape in this field changed? SCHNEIER: Snowden's revelations made people aware of what was happening, but little changed as a result. The USA Freedom Act resulted in some minor changes in one particular government data$-$collection program. The NSA's data collection hasn't changed; the laws limiting what the NSA can do haven't changed; the technology that permits them to do it hasn't changed. It's pretty much the same. GAZETTE: Should consumers be alarmed by this? SCHNEIER: People should be alarmed, both as consumers and as citizens. But today, what we care about is very dependent on what is in the news at the moment, and right now surveillance is not in the news. It was not an issue in the $2016$ election, and by and large isn't something that legislators are willing to make a stand on$.$ Snowden told his story, Congress passed a new law in response, and people moved on$.$ Graphic by Rebecca Coleman$/$Harvard Staff GAZETTE: What about corporate surveillance? How pervasive is it$?$ SCHNEIER: Surveillance is the business model of the internet. Everyone is under constant surveillance by many companies, ranging from social networks like Facebook to cellphone providers. This data is collected, compiled, analyzed, and used to try to sell us stuff. Personalized advertising is how these companies make money, and is why so much of the internet is free to users. We're the product, not the customer. GAZETTE: Should they be stopped? SCHNEIER: That's a philosophical question. Personally, I think that in many cases the answer is yes. It's a question of how much manipulation we allow in our society. Right now, the answer is basically anything goes. It wasn't always this way. In the $1970$s$,$ Congress passed a law to make a particular form of subliminal advertising illegal because it was believed to be morally wrong. That advertising technique is child's play compared to the kind of personalized manipulation that companies do today. The legal question is whether this kind of cyber$-$manipulation is an unfair and deceptive business practice, and, if so$,$ can the Federal Trade Commission step in and prohibit a lot of these practices. GAZETTE: Why doesn't the commission do that? Why is this intrusion happening, and nobody does anything about it$?$ SCHNEIER: We're living in a world of low government effectiveness, and there the prevailing neo$-$liberal idea is that companies should be free to do what they want. Our system is optimized for companies that do everything that is legal to maximize profits, with little nod to morality. Shoshana Zuboff, professor at the Harvard Business School, invented the term "surveillance capitalism" to describe what's happening. It's very profitable, and it feeds off the natural property of computers to produce data about what they are doing. For example, cellphones need to know where everyone is so they can deliver phone calls. As a result, they are ubiquitous surveillance devices beyond the wildest dreams of Cold War East Germany. GAZETTE: But Google and Facebook face more restrictions in Europe than in the United States. Why is that? SCHNEIER: Europe has more stringent privacy regulations than the United States. In general, Americans tend to mistrust government and trust corporations. Europeans tend to trust government and mistrust corporations. The result is that there are more controls over government surveillance in the U$.$S$.$
