1) In what kinds of ways have your privacy been violated through internet use? I'VE BEEN HACKED AND THEY TOOK CONTROL OF MY COMPUTER (MOVED THE MOUSE). SO I'VE FORMATTED MY HARD DISK.
2) Do you regularly have to divulge personal information to gain access to certain web sites? YES WE HAVE TO SIGN UP BY OPENING AN ACCOUNT BEFORE USING MOST OF INTERESTING WEBSITES. 3) Do you enter contests, play games, download files, or register on sites that require you to enter your email address or disclose specific interests? YES. ALL THE TIME. 4) What types of web sites try to gather the most personal information from you? MOST OF THOSE THAT YOU HAVE TO SIGN IN (EMAIL, FACEBOOK, BANKING...) AND THOSE WHERE THEY RECOMMAND YOU SOME PRODUCTS (AMAZON, ITUNE, EBAY, ANY BOOKSTORE). ALSO LOT OF PROGRAMS AND ADDRESS BARS ON THE TOP OF YOUR BROWSER OR ON YOUR TASK BAR IN WINDOWS USES INTERNET TO DOWNLOAD STUFFS WITHIOUT ASKING YOU AND CHECK WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH YOU COMPUTER AND ONLINE. 5) Have you noticed any internet advertisements targeting your personal tastes? YES. AMAZON.CA ITUNE, EBAY, CHAPTERS.INDIGO, BARNES AND NOBLE. 6) Do you contend with increasing amounts of spam email? LOT MORE THAN BEFORE BUT THOSE SPAM EMAIL ARE NOW WELL MADE (A FEW YEARS AGO THEY WERE LOOKING BAD AND SKETCHY. IT WAS OBIBIOUS THAT THEY WERE JUNK MAILS.) 7) What is your biggest complaint about being online and does it have anything to do with privacy? I DO MIND ABOUT ONLINE SECURITY AND TURN OFF MY COMPUTER WHEN I'M DONE. I TRY NOT TO GIVE INFO TO A COMPANY I DON'T KNOW AND CHECK THE LITTLE YELLOW LOCK ON THE ADRESS BAR TO MAKE SURE IT'S SAFE. WHEN I CONNECT ON HOTMAIL I SELECT THE SECURE SITE BEFORE ENTERING MY PASSWORD. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR WORK! |
