Two web-sites that are blocked by filters that are not the kind of sites filters are intended to block are all student organizations at Carnegie Mellon University and A map of Disney World.

Two methods used by some governments to control access to information are the censorship of sites to help control material available to children by the Communications Decency Act of 1996, and the Child Online Protection Act which made it a federal crime for commercial Web sites to make available to minors material "harmful to minors".

Two reasons people object to spam are the content that they contain and the way it is sent. The content is usually advertising, and many people do not want any unsolicited ads or announcements. Also, spammers disguise their email return address so that they do not have to respond to complaints.

The policy for internet access that is appropriate for elementary schools is the restricted access of explicit material containing bad language as well as pornography and racist materials. For elementary school, only limited access is needed. For high schools explicit material should be granted access because of the maturity level being higher. High Schoolers should have more freedom with what they are able to view, but pornography should still be off-limits. Racist content is useful for research projects and showing different points of view.

His comments about his intentions of not hurting people and being a regular kid are all not true and blatant lies. Regular children do not set off bombs in school hallways, and then say they did not want to hurt anybody. If they did not want to hurt anybody, they would have set it off in a remote location. Blaming the internet for making him set this bomb off is not right, because although the internet grants access to all this information it is your responsibility to use your common sense and reason when it comes to using it or not. For instance, if you watched a video of how to use a knife and then stabbed somebody and blamed this on the internet site and said that hes just a normal kid without any intentions of hurting anyone, nobody would believe him because there is no way it is true.
5.17
The issues that are raised from this problems is that the satelites become useless if everybody knows about them. It alerts the enemy that they are trying to spy on, and without the element of surprise they will not catch what they want to catch. This should be illegal because this makes the satellites less effective and they are used by the government. Therefore, i think that the information that is found by the satellites should be released, time-sensitively, so that the information can still be gathered effectively. The argument for telling where these satellites orbit is weak because although people should know if they are being watched, if they are doing nothing wrong they do not have anything to worry about.

The arguments for Harris Interactive's law suit are that their inclusion on the list cut it off from about half of the survey participants. They had told these people that they were signing up for these surveys as well. The argument against them is that they were not giving the people signing up enough information to know what they were getting into. The list was published that showed the criteria, and so if they wanted to not be on the list they would just have to meet the criteria.

1.15
a)The people are interpreting the right being claimed as a positive right because he is imposing the obligation on the insurance company that they are obligated to pay for his viagra, in order to insure he has a happy sex life. This should be a positive right because it is in an obligation for the insurance to company to provide this man with medication, in this case viagra.
b) The people are interpreting the right being claimed as a negative right because they are saying that the ads that criticized them impeded their rights to act peacefully without interference. The ad organizations were interfering with his right to hold office.

The online bookseller that provided the email service was not respecting its users privacy by saving their emails and analyzing them. In this case this is illegal because it is accessing their personal information, and unless they were informed and provided their consent for the email service to do this in something like a terms of use section, this is not legal.
3.10
The worst threat that the act is supposed to protect us from is the threat of people being able to steal things from internet companies. The arguments against this act that are the strongest is that it allows the government to access our communications which should be private. This means they are not respecting our right to privacy.
3.11
Carnivore is needed because of differences in the technology of old-time analog phones and modern email, and that interception email is more difficult now than telephones were. The main threats from it are that when the system is installed on the computer, the FBI can extract anyone's mail. There is insufficient protection to prevent the violation of the Fourth Amendment and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.
3.16
The right to send email in encrypted form means as a negative right that people have the right to send their emails without interference and have the right to encrypt them so they cannot be interfered with.
