why we say internet privacy is important...

some people just doesn't understand the significance of internet privacy and why is it so important in our daily lives..well here's an easy way to illustrate it..(ofcourse it's an example of case, what were you expecting?)..ok in the case of Robbins v. Lower Merion School District, the federal trial court issued an injunction against the school district after plaintiffs charged two suburban Philadelphia high schools violated the privacy of students and others when they secretly spied on students by surreptitiously and remotely activating webcams embedded in school-issued laptops the students were using at home. The schools admitted to secretly snapping over 66,000 webshots and screenshots, including webcam shots of students in their bedrooms. wow imagine something like that happenning to you now wouldn't that spook you out? and that's not all. there are various other similar cases . just a little hint on the necessity of internet privacy. ^_^
