Business Law: Internet Privacy

Group: Kyle, Richie, and Matt
Topic: Internet privacy and what the student body should know about it.

Implementation:
For our project we chose to take the social media route, fitting considering our internet based project. On Facebook, we created a page and shared it with students from our school. On it we posted various information and conducted multiple surveys and polls in hopes of increasing awareness of internet privacy seeing as how important a role the web plays in teenagers lives today. Our long term goal for our project is that our Facebook page will attract subscribers that will hopefully pass it on to their friends, generating the student education towards proper internet usage.

We started with our own Facebook page, complete with awesome cover picture courtesy of Matt.

Next we added some informational status posts that we hope will be helpful "hints" on the the insides and out of the internet.

Then from some times on out we plan to occasionally add interactive poles and questions to let others gauge how their peers "use" the internet, like this one.

While we only just got started, we hope our page will continue to grow in viewership and eventually reach the point where all GBN students have "liked" our page. Our final goal? Educate our fellow students one tiny status of knowledge at a time.

A preview of what's coming up...

Who really regulates internet privacy?
There is no comprehensive legislation in the United States that regulates the collection, storage, transmission, or use of personal information on the Internet. As new technologies have developed, the response has been to enact laws designed to target specific privacy-related issues on an ad hoc basis.

What exactly is a computer virus?
It's a computer program that can replicate itself and spread from one computer to another maliciously.
