I have a cousin who is a prison guard. She is restricted from using her real name on Facebook to protect her from inmates and their families who could find the guards and retaliate against them. I could see hospitals being another business that would want to avoid social media. This is to ensure that patients are not recorded in compromising positions. 2. Discuss the concept of a "reasonable expectation of privacy." Would this apply in workplace settings? Are companies within their rights to monitor computer use? “Reasonable expectation of privacy is the basis for some common law claims of invasion of privacy. Where an individual is notified that information will be shared or space will not be private, there is likely no reasonable expectation of privacy (Hartman, DesJardins, MacDonald, 2014, pg. 577).” In my opinion, this would apply in workplace setting. In my previous profession, they gave us cell phones and laptops. They encouraged us to get rid of our personal devices and internet to save money. We were told we could use the devices for both work and personal reasons. They didn’t restrict any sites. They did have us sign a waiver saying they could…
The fact that the yacht was named Privacy would not have an impact on the case because the name of the yacht is irrelevant and unimportant to the case.

Many users on the internet distrust communication, sharing, and storing in fear of government surveillance. Many cannot express their will freely because they are aware the government will be supervising their data. If people know that there is a government data base that records information and stores every search or call, this poses a chilling effect for their free speech.

Organizations that collect data without prior notification are potentially putting people at risk for years of turmoil from problems such as identity…
Prisons and mental institutions, like hospitals, do not preserve personal space and privacy and invade personal space/privacy when needed to. Despite this, most humans consider prisons and hospitals as morally permissible because they serve to maximize happiness and minimize pain. These places are still invading personal space/privacy, so their actions would be no better than what computer hackers do since invasion of privacy is immoral by human standards. Although the invasion of privacy by…
