Ashley Madison has made headlines – but maybe not how people may have imagined. “Hackers last week released detailed records on millions of people registered with the website, a month after a break-in at Ashley Madison's parent company, Toronto-based Avid Life Media Inc.” After the release of names, two suicides have been committed. While they have yet to be confirmed in reference to the Ashley Madison ‘affair’, it’s safe to say that this act has caused people a lot of trouble. The CEO of the company has been harassed and family’s lives have been upturned. Some of these clients of Ashley Madison are being ransomed by the hackers, who called themselves the Impact Team – payment or your name will be leaked. These hackers seem to be taking a
When I heard about the Ashley Madison scandal I thought that shutting down the site would have been a bad idea. I think there are a lot of sites out there that get threatened on a regular basis and it turns out to just be a hoax. It would be hard to shut down your website with the possibility of it also being a hoax. If Ashley Madison had a privacy agreement that the members signed when they joined the site then I think that Ashley Madison should have to compensate the members in some way. I’m assuming a lot of lawsuits came out of all of this so I figure that compensation in a lawsuit would be enough.
The web is filled with online trolls who would sell what shreds of dignity they have left for an Angela Lansbury nude. Equally, the average internet user has come to despise the delinquents who harm in the form of internet torture. And while he or she could be blamed for being reckless, it is uncommon to guilt the average internet user for being hacked. The fault lies with the malicious hacker. In recent months, many celebrities have had private photos of themselves hacked and posted on the internet for the world to see. While a blatant invasion of privacy, it is also a sacrilegious towards the celebrity’s body and their rights to consent.

Let it Fall: Los Angeles 1982-1992 The documentary “Let it Fall” produced by John Ridley describes the riots that took place at Los Angeles. Almost twenty-five years ago riots broke out in Los Angeles due to racial tensions between people of color and whites. Through the documentary “Let it Fall” it is seen how police officials would handle riots with brutal tactics. In my opinion I believe that LAPD conducted these brutal tactics against people of color because they did not have a concrete plan to deal with the unrest riots.
Time Newspaper has learnt that it's not surprising that Internet companies have electronic dossiers that contain personal information for individuals who subscribe to the websites. Generally, these companies have obtained the information from people based on individual's visit to the website, sent and received emails, tagged photos, and searches people carry out. However, the extent of personal information known by these Internet companies has remained largely unknown as well who they provide and/or sell this information to. However, Internet companies continue to gather lots of personal information from different people who focus on carrying out online activities on a daily basis. Currently, it's estimated that these firms gather personal information from nearly 500 million users but are hesitant to provide this information to the other firms or individuals. As their unwillingness to share has attracted significant congressional inquiry, things could finally change in California following the introduction of a bill that may force companies to disclose the kind of personal information they have gathered and how this information is being used.
Identity theft is the stealing and use of someone’s personal information and is one of the fastest growing crimes in the nation (Dole, 2005).

In this paper I will be discussing the Constitution and Civil Rights. Both are vital to our nation’s strong beliefs that we, as Americans, deserve equal rights and a strong government. In the United States, we all want to have a nation that we can trust and will give us our unalienable rights, no matter the skin tone or gender. So why, in 2016, do women and people of color still fight for equal treatment?
Today most people would tell you that the stocks, pillory and other tools of public punishment are barbaric. We’ve moved passed them, having figured out more humane ways to deal with crime. Why, then, the resurgence of public shaming, namely the mainstream acceptance of the “dox,” which, in its purest form, is the digging up of a target’s personal information—name, phone number, address, Social Security number, familial relationships, financial history—and exposing it online to encourage harassment from others? This practice has gradually been popularized by Anonymous, the amorphous collective of trolls and “hacktivists” that alternately terrorize tween girls and disable government websites.

Sharks, varying in size, are widely located around the world. The longest shark, the Whale Shark, spans 60 feet long and can weigh up to 70 tons. These sharks are not dangerous to humans because they are filter feeders. Usually, a female shark gives birth to around 10 pups at a time. While she nurses the pups, she keeps them in the shallow water to protect them from male sharks who eat baby pups. Sharks are generally not friendly to humans. They can detect one sole drop of blood in more than a million gallons of water. ⅔ of the shark's brain is given over to interpreting blood. Once they smell the blood, the sharks go into a crazy frenzy, where their teeth are pushed out and jaws open wide. The great white shark is probably the most deadly
