All of this technology surrounding the internet is so recent, it is scary how it is developing quicker than laws can develop to control it. Because of this, lots of big companies with enough money to have a large amount of power, are in possession of our data, and our able to, or at least attempting to manipulate aspects of our daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>I do believe we can make changes happen in order to regain some privacy and security within these technologies. I think the first step is for the government to set standards for these companies which focuses on human rights and breaks down their policies to the moral violations they are accountable of, and changes them so it&#8217;s in the best interest of peoples health and not in the interest of an individuals self gain.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest change I would make to most apps, or websites which ask for your permission before accessing your data, is to require a less cryptic terms of service, perhaps even something which has to state in bold, like a health warning, that states all the potential data this company can access, and everything they can do with said data. I think it would also be important to limit the internet usage for children. I am aware of all the benefits, and also all the people trying to do this already, but I think if we can find some new forms of technology to help kids learn without being connected to the internet, it could really benefit them and their knowledge of how the internet and data work in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surveillance\u00a0\u00a0 Research First source: \u201cThe goal is to automate us\u201d Google decided that it would digitize and store every book ever printed, regardless of copyright issues.
