1. Can you think of other factors that make the computer and IT environment different to a
more traditional non computing medium? As new technologies are introduced new
factors are arising every day. Think about relatively new technologies such as cellular
communication or satellite tracking devices? Have they cause new ethical questions? For
each technology you can think of, try to work out what it is about the technology that
cause those ethical questions.

1. I think I’ll set an example of GPS(Global Positioning System) a global navigation
satellite system that provides location,velocity and time synchronization. As we all know
GPS is everywhere, its in your smartphone,car, and your smart watch. Have they cause
new ethical questions? Yes, are we still being track down even our GPS are off? Who

owns location data of the individual subscriber, the service provider or a third party that
stores the information. Or in our smartphones , I’ve read articles before is it really true
that our camera on smartphone really watches us without us knowing? This question will
possibly happening right now in this generation with the internet of things are evolving
and will be more improve in the near future are we still safe does our data still be secure?

2. Large databases can be protected by the government agencies. Not only the database,
but also the data owner. Because, large databases can be compromised by hackers. For
example is ransome, as we all know ransomware hacker will ask money to the data owner
so he/she would not leak of the owner data. The main implication of government
agencies of large databases is the protection and ensuring to not breaching any individual
data.

3. In my own opinion the question is irrelevant and why is it related to the free speech,
Government databases mostly record and keep track of personal information, in no way
or form can these databases affect an individual’s right to express their opinion.

4. Under R.A. 10173 Data of Privacy Act of 2012, your personal data is treated almost
literally in the same way as your own personal property. As a data subject, we have the
right to be informed that your personal data will be, are being or were, collected and
processed. Consider the impact of incorrect data even if they are changed but not
propagated in a timely fashion. Under the law, you have the right to suspend, withdraw or
order the blocking, removal or destruction of your personal data. And if you feel that
your personal data has been misused, maliciously disclosed, or improperly disposed, or if
any of the rights discussed here have been violated, you have the right to file a complaint.
