Summary Of Hillary Clinton's Improving Cyber-Security

Improved Essays
Unfortunately, ensuring cyber-security is something that is yet to be archived by the United States. Not only is the safety of American citizens jeopardized by reckless use of a social media, but furthermore classified information that belongs to private agencies or government officials is also being jeopardized by hackers. In “Improving Cybersecurity” Hillary Clinton states, “Countries that restrict free access to information or violate basic rights of Internet users risk walling themselves off from the progress of the next century” (qtd. Flamini 171). This being the case, restricting the public’s use of the Internet wouldn’t be an effective way of ensuring safety, it would instead work as a setback in human rights. The United States was founded

    " Trapped within a musty room in 1787, the Founding Fathers, of various backgrounds and prestige, came together to ignite a set of rules that were unmatched by any of the time. To initiate ratification, the citizens established their need to have their rights protected. The people were determined to ensure a non-dominating government was to be put in place. A stable foreground for America was laid to rest through the Bill of Rights. The first ten amendments notably discontinued the rumor of a continuity of dictation upon non-elites.…

    In the article “The Internet is a surveillance state”, which appeared on CNN.com on March 16, 2013, Bruce Schneier claims the government can see our every move on the internet. He goes on to state, “Whether we admit it to ourselves or not, whether we like it or not, we’re being tracked at all times.” (55). He uses specific and persuasive examples from his work experience to share his thoughts and beliefs on a subject that not everyone is aware of, but the ones who do are usually chilled by it. This paper will analyze Schneier’s article from his view as an American security technologist, cryptologist, and author of “Liars and authors:…

    However, despite all of are major accomplishments in the past forty years, we’re facing a major problem with our privacy. As a result of almost 90% of Americans using the internet on a day to day basis, the Senate of the United States has just passed a resolution that removes our very right to privacy. As of matter of fact, the resolution known as “SJ Resolution 34” has been passed as a law and will remain a law until a supreme court justice deems it unconstitutional or the legislation repeals it. Presently, as of May…

    "On a constitutional foothold, the first amendment is a minefield of dead ends for what seems to be most legislation. Demonstrated by the recent uproar over net neutrality, our internet-driven society has led us to keep our first amendment rights under lock and key. Anything otherwise would be largely irresponsible of our government's constitutional duties. Society, after all, no longer lives in a world of just paper and pen. However, at the precise moment content online trespasses beyond the grotesque and profane limits we're used to – when we start to see sparks leading to terrorism and chatter of the slumbering beast that is Nazism – we should be compelled by our own moral virtues to rush forward and say, ""Stop.…

    Even though the United States Constitution does not outright give American citizens the express right to privacy, many amendments contain the protection of certain privacies, more specifically the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments. The Fourteenth Amendment has a very broad claim, stating that “No State shall… deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The word “liberty” in this statement singlehandedly guarantees this wide sense of privacy to American citizens, as shown through countless amounts of court cases decided based upon this clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In the past few decades, privacy rights are often debated closely relating to technology as new methods of hacking,…

    In order to ensure the safety of the citizens of the United States of America, the US government should be allowed to surveill its citizens under the correct circumstances. After the bombing of the World Trade Center in September of 2001, security measures have been put in place in order to prevent similar events from happening. A person’s digital property should be subject to the same rules and regulations as their physical property. Of course this doesn’t mean watching every waking move, like in George Orwell’s 1984, “Always eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or bed- no escape.…

    It wasn’t until the Patriot Act that America finally started to become protected fully from terrorism and other foreign affairs. The current issue is that the Patriot Act recently lost some serious sections; most importantly the NSA can no longer store information from what the gather using the Patriot Act. A lot of citizens are rejoicing because they believe that they no longer are being monitored, but they only removed that they can’t long-term store information anymore, so that means were still being monitor and prosecute terrorist and criminals and crimes using the Patriot Act. The scariest part is that the recent cancellation of the renewal shows that storm is a brewing and either the Patriot Act is going to be fully removed or hopefully a more advanced and detailed act will be created. Terrorism is still a major issue today; however the Patriot Act can still monitor the Internet to prevent terrorist groups, like ISIS, from communicating and planning other terrorist attacks around the world (ABC News).…

    According to George Gao, 56% of Americans disapprove of the NSA collecting phone records and text messages, but that means the other, almost half, of Americans feel the need to give up some of their freedom to protect national security. (Civil Liberty in America, May 29 2015) WikiLeaks, the notorious website that finds and exposes government information, poses a real threat to the national security. While a popular website today due to its high credibility, it has revealed highly classified information that has hurt not only national security but foreign relations as well as reveal military info that they could use against terrorism in the middle east. There was a small public outrage over the censorship, or rather “un-censorship”, in a St. Louis sexual assault case.…

    In recent years, the United States of America has witnessed an increase in terrorist attacks. The growing issue has caused thousands of innocent people to lose their lives due to the calculated acts of hatred toward our country. Since 1970, almost every region of the United States has been targeted by some type of terrorist attack--an unacceptable statistic that Hillary Clinton is fighting to stop (“Eight” par. 10). Although America experiences less terrorist attacks than many other countries worldwide, the number of fatal attacks targeted toward the U.S. is far too large.…

The negative issues that we are facing today with internet are our online privacy and data breaches.
