Week 10 Lecture


This week's lecture focused on internet censorship and further discussion about internet privacy.

Internet Censorship:











Government or other relevant institutes try to block some "inappropriate content" for child or others, it is called internet censorship. Usually they said this is to prevent young people from porns and violent stuff, but some other political information are also being filtered. It causes bottleneck as well, slow down the speed of the internet, and maybe we have to pay for it, cause ISPs are going to pay for the censorship technology therefore they are gonna charge the customers.

Internet Privacy:










This week's lecture talked about some sponsors of Facebook and one of them is In-Q-Tel, and they seems to be an "database" for C.I.A., and the facebok users conditions clear says that all the informations you put there belong to them, therefore all the informations can be access by In-Q-Tel.
