Est1 Task 3

Even with the dangerous developments in social media over the past several years, many parents have chosen to allow their children to use these sites despite age restrictions. There are three reasons to argue for age restrictions on social media sites: lack of supervision by parents, targeting of children by pedophiles, and the prevalence of children falsifying their age. The ability of pedophiles to conceivably target children with social media proves that this is an issue that parents need to examine so that they may better protect their children. The threat from pedophiles causes an enormous problem for millions of children on social media sites. Unfortunately, Western Daily Press states that “Pedophiles can get away with grooming young teenagers on social media sites.” My essay will argue that age restrictions need to be in place, and additional regulations should ensure that law enforcement agencies have the tools required to supervise underage children 's use of social media, including Facebook and Twitter. Quoting from Business Wire, “three out of four parents feel that social network sites are not protecting children.” According to Irish Independent, “four out of ten children falsify their age” when using social media. I will also argue that additional research on this topic can be used to raise the awareness of parents, and can also help to alert the children themselves to the danger. My essay will also examine questions, such as: How can social media sites protect

EHRs reduce your paperwork – It reduces the paperwork I have to fill in each time I go into the doctors office. If I am referred to a specialists or another area within the network they already have all of my complete information.

As young internet users take part in risky or inappropriate behavior online, they can be subjected to harmful or embarrassing occurrences in the future (Clemons & Wilson, 2015). More importantly, these online activities disclose a great deal about the cost to serve them and their willingness to purchase certain goods and services, which could be used against them by well-informed sellers (Clemons & Wilson, 2015). Furthermore, educational applications have become prevalent in classrooms, allowing students’ data to be mined (Clemons & Wilson, 2015). Since the authors are not aware of previous studies that examine the parents’ or students’ attitudes

The Rule also applies to websites or online services that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information directly from users of another website or online service directed to children.

I suggest we should make a law/policy to have more strict age-verification to the Internet devices or the PC accounts. These days there are many people, especially young people, that have trouble about the Internet by mistakenly (or deliberately) accessing to inappropriate websites. This policy/law would help prevent these troubles and I have some reasons why this helps it, and there are some reasons to support my idea.

In today’s market, data is used for profit-making. Non-surprisingly, VTech tends to collect as much data as possible. However, data over-collection violates the privacy rights. . Children’s online privacy can be protected by limiting the collection of data up to an extent that is reasonably requited for the functioning of a product or an online service. VTech could consider minimizing the data collection from children directly from their services or products, or by limiting data collection and usage by the third-party via their services or products. There are several cases that show that some advertising systems offer targeted ads in order to violate user data. Moreover, data collected should also be anonymized. Today’s technology has made it possible to track the whole life of an individual by aggregating different pieces of data. Storing anonymous data only or putting personal data into a de-identified form will protect children’s privacy from unauthorized access in a much better manner. Shortening data retention term is also a possible solution to minimize the impact of abusive data collection.

Although explicit content, cyber bullying, and depression all cause considerable complications for children, one of the most pressing matters that the internet introduces is privacy. The invasion of privacy on the internet is a serious hazard for anyone because it is relatively simple for an unknown individual to obtain personal information and there can be so many different outcomes, such as identity theft, stalking, or even abduction. Furthermore, Sadbury Patch states that it is especially easy for a child experience a breach in privacy. Their statistics show that “there are over 500,000 predators online every day”, “more than 50 percent of victims of online sexual exploitation are 12-15 years old”, and that “4% of young kids under 10 get

  With the increasing popularity of the Internet, especially among children, parents and others have been concerned that young people have easy access to a wide range of pornography available online. They have pointed out that it is a relatively easy maneuver for children to call up salacious material at home or in libraries--simply by searching for key words like "porn" or "sex." The purpose of this paper is to amplify on this subject of the need for regulation of the Internet.

Without the Coppa Law, many researchers believe that students will be less likely to lie about their age on social media because there would be no need. If the children looking for social media accounts were not barred by such restricts as parental consent, then they would be treated with a child friendly profile setting where only family and friends would be able to see the child’s profile. The issue with lying about something as significant as age online is that it can be dangerous to one or both parties. All too often does the media release a story wherein a minor lies about age online and are pursued by unsuspecting adults. The age restriction is set for a reason. Children should not be active on such social media pages. It can be harmful to the mental state of children and therefore receive the wrong impression of society. Many children are victim to online bullying or pursed in sexual conversations, brought in by adults, via social media. This has happened many times all over the world and it needs to be stopped. Unfortunately, there are limited ways censorship can help this issue. It can, however, block the user and delete the account after they have done this disappointing act. Administrators and parents should be checking profiles to ensure the safety and integrity of the children and the other users. There are an estimated five million children under the age of thirteen on Facebook with a false date of birth

This makes it impossible to stop juveniles using it to access pornography because there is no way of knowing someone's age. People can use the Internet to impose themselves on others; anonymous email can be sent by people; people can log onto chat servers and interrupt by saying things, which offend or upset those already communicating. "People who have had no access to pornography and other depravities are using the Internet to get at something that they would otherwise never be able to see" (Society 38).

Throughout the past decade information has never been easier to acquire. According to a study done by the International Telecommunication Union around 47% of the population has access to the Internet. This means almost 1 in every 2 people has the ability to have an average question answered by the click of a button (ITU, 2016). People across the globe can meet, express themselves, and in some cases work together to solve common problems thanks to online chat rooms. Modern culture, especially for millennials, revolves around and is based off of the internet; yet, people are oblivious to the extensive amount of information they willingly trade to the world in order to receive these many small benefits. So much personal information is being sold to advertisers that the question on whether teens should have access to the internet begins to grow. Restriction from the internet would help protect teens from advertisers building a profile on them, learning their personal information, and persuading them to buy from certain brands. Advertisers establishment of brand names can influence teens to prefer unhealthy food options and increase childhood obesity. Excessive use of the internet by millennials, however, shows that this solution poses the risk of keeping teens from using and benefiting from internet applications such as google classroom,

Many internet websites today require vital personal information from the user in order to access. With more regulations personal information will be safer and nothing can be stolen. As one expert claimed, “An estimated 15.4 million consumers were hit with some kind of ID theft last year, according to Javelin Strategy & Research, up from 13.1 million the year before” (Sullivan 1). This quote shows that many internet users who trust their personal information online can be easily access and used for the wrong reasons. By regulating the internet it can decrease the rate of identify theft and provide a safer usage, preventing not just personal information being access but business and sensitive information .

The Internet is a method of communication and a source of information that is becoming more popular among those who are interested in. The problem with this much information being accessible to this many people is that some of it is deemed inappropriate for minors. Supervision is used because many different types of groups of people are using it. Legislative regulation of the internet would be an appropriate function of the government. Although the freedom of speech and privacy is important to the history and culture of the United States, certain regulations over the internet are needed.

In this day and age of super high-speed networking and digital communications, just about anything on any subject can be found on the Internet. Some materials, such as online libraries are helpful, some, such as student’s personal homepages are fairly useless, and some sites, such as online medical references, can be lifesaving. All these sites have a right to be on the web. However, there are also sites that could be detrimental to people, such as pornography sites, pages detailing the manufacture of illegal drugs, and instructions on how to build high explosives and other illegal devices. With the number of these types increasing daily, parents and lawmakers alike are becoming concerned for the well being of the

In the emerging generation, advertisements have been dominating the generation like never before. It has developed a threat that arises, and affects privacy, and how certain ads are portrayed. This is based on the fact that advertisements have developed strategies to tailor the ads accordingly. This enables advertisers to send ads, regarding restaurants and movie theaters. These ads, continue to further take advantage of information, and the ways that customers view ads. As advertisers, become enabled they develop the ability to monitor online activity. Online activity is affected by the amount of information that is collected. According to advertisers “Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, AOL and Myspace recorded 336 billion transmissions in which the consumers’ data were sent back to the web companies servers”(Kanner). The amount of consumer data is affected by the amount of ads portrayed on website, this amount affects teenagers by reducing their privacy. The only way, teenagers aren’t affected by marketers is by beginning to “Guard their life with adequate privacy settings "(Schiff). Once teenagers, attempt to protect their privacy, marketers continue to attempt new levels of intrusiveness, and violate privacy rights.
