Write a 300-500 word reaction paper (reaction to the combined chapters and the

These three readings are great. I learned a lot of things about privacy which is very attract me.
When I was first time learn about Information policy, I was thinking about privacy. After reading
this book, there are many questions answered.
In the Introduction chapter, there are a lot of sentences make me thinking. Privacy has been one
of the most enduring social issues related to digital electronic information
technologies. Distributed networking; the World Wide Web; mobile devices; video, audio, and
biometric surveillance; global positioning; ubiquitous computing; social networks, these types
have yielded with radical transformations of the technology. More and more governments and
other large institutions concerns this situation. Meantime, more and more people concern this
situation. There are some questions when people use internet, am I safe with my data and
information when I use this app or website? Do I have privacy after I submit my information to
this app or website?
Numberless books, articles, and commentaries call for reform in law and policy to protect
people’s privacy. Some people hope there will be some very strict rules to limit access to
personal information. However, I hope there will be some reasonable laws or policies, not just
strict limit but also can ensure its flow. Nowadays, it is very hard to tell people can totally make
sure their information safe. After all, it is 2018. Can you not use computer or mobile phone to
live?
I really like this definition” Personal data shall mean any information relating to an identified or
identifiable natural person(‘data subject’); an identifiable person is one who can be identified,
directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identification number or to one or more
factors specific to his physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social
identity.” And there is a sentence, I would like to share, Charles Fried, who suggested that
privacy is a necessary condition for love, friendship, and trust, endorses that a limit be placed on
the moral and legal right to privacy.
