Lamdan’s article compares the security of patron privacy rights at libraries to the privacy rights of citizens as governed within the FOIA. Any private citizen who requests government information as specified under the FOIA, put their privacy at risk. Lamdan, and Solove as cited, warn that such availability places private citizens in grave danger of being prey to government scrutiny. She urges the federal government to “adopt librarian ethics via federal statue…” (p. 132).
Under the Privacy Rule the term consent is only concerned with use of the patient’s information, and should not be confused with consent for the treatment itself. The Privacy Rule originally required providers to obtain patient “consent” to use and disclose PHI except in emergencies. The rule was almost immediately revised to make it easier to use PHI for purposes of treatment, payment, or operation of the healthcare practice (Gartee, 2011). Authorization differs from consent in that it does require the patient’s permission to disclose PHI. A signed “consent” document is not a valid permission to use or disclose protected health information for a purpose that requires an “authorization” under the Privacy Rule (Gartee, 2011). The appearance of an authorization form is up to the practice, but the Privacy Rule requires that it contain specific information. Date signed Expiration date, To whom the information may be disclosed, What is permitted to be disclosed, For what purpose the information may be used (Gartee, 2011).
When the book 1984, by George Orwell, was first published, people thought very little of the world that had been created within the book. In this world, society was run by the Inner Party, whose "leader" is Big Brother. Big Brother is the embodiment of the Party; he is the one who controls everything. He controls food ration, living arrangements, work positions, privacy, and even a person's mind. Privacy did not exist. In modern times, many aspects of the anti-utopian novel are beginning to appear in society. One of the major factors that are becoming more and more like Big Brother is the Internet. More specifically, Google, a very popular search engine, has been ridiculed and attacked for certain policies it has and does not have that resemble Big Brother's antics. Google is under suspicion as being the next Big Brother by many parties, including an organization under Privacy International called Google Watch, because of their disregard of privacy, specifically, accessing its users' hard disk information off their computer (Brandt).
With this becoming public knowledge many people became enraged at google. Many saying that this was a way for the government to spy on their citizens. The idea of the government watching scares a lot of

According to the text, Google relies on tracking along with other activities to maintain profitability, it has large stake in the privacy issue (p.471). Google has been working on updating their privacy policy to better comply with what the users want when it comes to their private information. In 2012, Google revamped their privacy policy and combined all its information it gathered from its users from the different Google services. Google drafted a 13-page letter answering all government questions (p.469). Google states that all users have the option of turning off certain features that collect users information. The new policy also states that it would not impact the amount of data it gathers or deletes and that it remains highly committed to user privacy (p.469). If Google can continue to follow this new policy where it commit to its users privacy and not have it clash with its profitability then Google users will be happy. Majority of Google users just want to make sure that when they use the Google search engine, their private information is secured and not leaked to hackers. Google has the power to respect its privacy and maintain its profitability by keeping the two issues separate.

Google’s defense also claimed that there is nothing wrong with collecting data from unsecured wireless networks because those networks by nature broadcast their activity for the world to see. Apparently, these are what we all are agreeing on when we are being asked to agree to terms upon joining a wireless network. They claimed that the data gathering was for better marketing and that it had no unlawful intent whatsoever. But after numerous protests around the world and countless lawsuits the company giant faced after the controversy, Google ended its illegal collection of WiFi data transmissions.
