Privacy is important because it's your own right to be left alone. No one have the right to public their life if they don't want to. Privacy helps the people to maintain their autonomy and individuality from other people mouth.
3. What are the positive aspects of the police keeping a DNA database for suspects and victims?
The main positive thing is that if a suspect left DNA in the criminal scene, the police would already have the prove that he was the guilty one and the victim would be safe. And of course the justice would win.
4. What could be the negative aspects?
One negative aspect could be that someone that is innocent could be injure for something he didn't did just because they have samples of DNA.
5. Define data mining.
"Data mining, an interdisciplinary sub field of computer science, is the computational process of discovering patterns in large data sets involving methods at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, and database systems."
6. Discuss if it is acceptable or not, that social networks collect data about their users’ interests, to enable them to sell more accurate advertising systems.
Yes it's acceptable because in order to know about the user they have to be supported with data about them, this benefits the user too because the social network can help him with the needs that he have. Of course everything has to be taken with respect for the client, and given that data should be optional.The social network is always collecting data about their users, but sometimes it's optional for us to put it or not. One example of this is Facebook, you are not forced to publish everything, it depends on you. I personally think that is acceptable, but they have the obligation to respect the customer, if they collect data to do things like sending coupons to a pregnant woman they have to be aware that is not obvious.
The
most important thing that a company should do is to protect the
customer, if they don't expose the client everything would be fine
because they would not feel damaged. Also a company have to give the
client everything they need, in this case if a woman is pregnant and
she needs pregnant stuff, the coupons would be fine for her because
that's what she needs.
In
conclusion I will say that it's acceptable for me to collect data of
their users because it's a way to know them better and in some way
please the client. Both sides are wining, the company is selling more
but respecting the integrity of the client and the client is getting
what he wants.
