Dr. Jipson's OLC Presentation from Thursday, September 25, 2008

1. Be Careful what You Post: The Myth of Internet Privacy Dr. Art Jipson University of Dayton Criminal Justice Studies Program Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work

2. Internet Information Concerns Privacy Security Bandwidth Content Public Access Commercialization

3. Internet Privacy Laws “ Enjoying the right to privacy means having control over your own personal data and the ability to grant or deny access to others.”

4. Balancing Act on Privacy

6. “ You have zero privacy [on the Internet] anyway. Get over it.” Scott McNealy, 1999 CEO, SUN Microsystems

7. Public Interest In Protecting Individual Privacy

14. Terrorist Information Awareness USA PATRIOT ACT TIA Objective Surveillance of communications is an essential tool to pursue and stop terrorists. This new law will allow surveillance of all communications used by terrorists, including e-mails, the Internet, and cell phones. To revolutionize the ability of the United States to detect, classify and identify foreign terrorists – and decipher their plans – and thereby enable the U.S. to take timely action to successfully preempt and defeat terrorist acts. Strategy Law enforcement agencies have to get a new warrant for each new district they investigate, even when they're after the same suspect. Under this new law, warrants are valid across all districts and across all states. And, finally, the new legislation greatly enhances the penalties that will fall on terrorists or anyone who helps them. The project would scan the Internet and commercial databases for electronic evidence of terrorist preparations. Intelligence and law enforcement officials would check -- without warrants -- travel and credit card records, Internet mail and banking transactions, new driver's license records and more. Criticism The government may now spy on web surfing of innocent Americans, including terms entered into search engines, by merely telling a judge anywhere in the U.S. that the spying could lead to information that is "relevant" to an ongoing criminal investigation. The person spied on does not have to be the target of the investigation. This would create systematic surveillance of Americans on home soil. He is proposing to make government a peeper into lawful transactions among private citizens.
