Computer Abuses
When we say computer abuses it is the unauthorized use of, or access to, a computer for a purpose contrary to the wishes of the owner of the computer or the data held thereon.
The types of computer abuse most frequently seen are illegal distribution of commercial software and material under copyright, email harassment, stolen accounts, unauthorized access or break-ins, and stolen equipment. Such activities are clear violations of the university's Acceptable Use Policy, and may also be violations of the Code of Student Conduct.
Most of the people today abuse the computer in so many ways. For example the most common of that problem is the pornography. They use computer to display nude pictures and videos, which also influence people especially the minors.
Other problem is the computer fraud. It is the conduct which involves the manipulation of a computer or computer data, by whatever method, in order to dishonestly obtain money, property or some other advantage of value, or to cause loss.
And because of computer, people invade your privacy. Hackers use different techniques to attack your private properties.
Privacy Issues
If people have its own privacy and freedom of expression, new technologies also have its privacy. Like for example your cell phone helps you keep in touch with friends and families, but it also makes it easier for the feds to track your location.
Technology isn't the real problem, though; rather, the law has yet to catch up to our evolving expectations of and need for privacy. In fact, new government initiatives and laws have severely undermined our rights in recent years.
This issue will only be solving if the government will implement law for the privacy in using new technologies. So that people will also stop abusing the right of the other people.
Free Speech Issues among online Journalists
Freedom of speech is the concept of being able to speak freely without censorship. It is often regarded as an integral concept in modern liberal democracies. The synonymous term freedom of expression is sometimes preferred, since the right is not confined to verbal speech but is understood to protect any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.
In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country, although the degree of freedom varies greatly. Industrialized countries also have varying approaches to balance freedom with order.
For the On-line Journalists, this free speech can be applied. Since they have their code of ethics and code of conducts, they are free to put any issues in their online news as long as they cannot defame any body.
