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. ^_^

well..i do not really aware of the reason why the school was spying on the students, maybe because those students being spied on were the 'most wanted' students in school but still, this is an infringement of privacy..if there were webcam shots of students in their bedrooms, then it was not impossible that nude or censored photos were as well being taken..it's a kind of a humiliation,am i right? what do u guys think?

yes, i agree with aishah. this is an absolute infringement of rights for the students. they do not have any rights to spy on them as these students are entitled to their own privacy.
ReplyDeletewebcams are "fatal" things that we least expected could have endangered our privacy on the internet, but now they have become one of the sources to this. poor them :( I hope the rest will be more careful on this matter
