Information About The Private Sector And Public Sector

Many companies have gathered personal information online to target ads with the user’s preferences, but tracking can allow companies to find out your credit card number, where you live and your interests. Hence, the NSA should be incriminated for utilizing personal information that can endanger a person’s security by using information from social networks, experimenting and distributing information.

These extremely large data sets may be analyzed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, and associations relating to human behavior and interaction. These analysesaffect us on day to day basis positively and negatively and the legality of how this information is collected and the laws that apply may be unclear. Both with or without users' knowledge, consumer personal data is collected from every daily, digital activity; from purchases, web searches, amazon searches, browsing history, and phone use. This data is generated, and then downloaded and stored. [15] Companies can then use this data to create "data sets" or large files of users' data to produce customer profiling. This data can also be used by police, the governmental bodies, scientists, businesses, military, and other industries where occasional breaches of data are expected .[16] Breaches and leaks of personal information including phone calls, credit card information, home address, and personal phone numbers are examples of information that is logged and stored by these corporations while making "data sets". Much of this information is being processed and sold to marketers for the purpose of marketing their products. This information is stored digitally and in some cases, regardless of the security of the information being stored, there are risks of unauthorized parties

Modern Americans see privacy as one of the greatest freedoms. When Edward Snowden revealed the NSA surveillance program, the citizens of the United States were appalled by the extent of access the NSA had to personal information. However, according to Dan Tapscott in his essay, “Should We Ditch the Idea of Privacy?” we post just as many details daily on our numerous social media outlets. The majority of the information we freely post is not meaningful and does no harm to us by being public, yet there is a dangerous side to our open-book nature.

Over the past few years, the development of the Internet and the intrusive surveillance capabilities of these technologies have caused privacy to become a major political and social issue for millions of Americans who go online.  Companies employ a variety of tools to gather marketable information on American citizens.  Most of the use of this information is for personalized advertisement and to create databases of target audiences.  While these activities may appear to be nothing more than annoyances for a majority of Americans, there is the hidden danger of the loss of privacy.

Even though the impact of this article is rather small on the rest of the world, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t an impact on the United States. What the writer was trying to accomplish by writing this article is to bring the issue of whether using a large amount of data that is being sold from companies to the police is invading the privacy of the citizens; it is for the reader and the audience to form a conclusion and opinion in order to get a discussion

Something similar is happening with our cyber information. Internet service providers can collect information from users such as browsing information, location, financial, health information, etc. and sell that information to marketing and advertisement agencies. Sites such as Facebook can also track user’s online activity and sell that information to advertisers and third-party sites, an example of this is anytime a user logs into a site using Facebook it allows that company to track their online activity. Ultimately, people should be made aware of what is happening with their personal

Privacy is an increasing issue that is at the heart of many debates, companies like Facebook profit form the oversharing of personal information because of targeted advertising. To illustrate, let’s say that you were online shopping, and you look up ‘red dress’, then you log on to Facebook. Facebook will show

How far is too far when it comes to privacy? In a rapidly developing digital age, the boundaries are constantly expanding as new technology emerges. Data mining is not going away, so the debate on privacy becomes increasingly relevant. The line between what is ethical and unethical quickly become blurred, and certain entities are bound to take advantage of that gray area. Corporations claim they are collecting private data for marketing research to serve more relevant advertising and increase profits. Despite the marketing benefits of digital data collection, it is unethical for corporations to collect private digital data without taking proper measures to protect privacy.

This report purpose is to provide a point of view about two different Technological information leaking cases. It provides a clear explanation about the criminal charges against Edward Snowden, a former CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) employee, a former contractor for the United States government, he copied and leaked classified information from the NSA organization without permissions in 2013. Snowden was charged with three different felonies on June 2013, as he stole a governmental property unauthorized communication of national defense information. The following number of lines could provide a detailed explanation for why Snowden was charged with these felonies and the American president comments on this. This paper also stocks

[2] Since then there have been occurrences involving governmental agencies, software applications, and social media information gathering about personal information without consent. Privacy is still a new concept for Americans and will continue to evolve with technology, as well as other aspects of

Privacy is a major problem these days. Cheaper memory has led to immense amount of data continuously being accumulated in various databases across the world, from universities, companies to patient records, content and link graphs of social net-works, mobility traces in cellular networks, book and movie ratings, etc.—and there are many socially valuable uses to which it can potentially be put. But, as Netflix and others have discovered, even when data collectors try to protect the privacy of their customers by releasing anonymized or aggregated data, this data often reveals much more than intended, especially when it is combined with other data sources. This calls for the need to immediately

The corporate giant that is known as Google specializes in Internet-related services and products including advertising technologies, search, cloud computing, and software. Something that most consumers don’t know is that every Google search ever performed is stored within its giant servers. That data is then cross-linked to anything and everything Google is affiliated with, from YouTube to Google Maps. With all that information, Google can pinpoint where someone lives, his or her hobbies, age, health conditions, religion, and so forth. Some users are becoming wary about whether or not the search engine giant has gone too far in its attempts to gather user data by calling it an invasion of privacy and illegal wiretapping. Google’s data mining protocol has recently been a hot topic in terms of security and use but the benefits of allowing the data mining to occur outweigh the privacy concerns.

When we examine public sector versus private sector, plenty of differences come to mind. In defining each, we learn a private sector in an economy consist of all businesses and firms owned by ordinary members of the general public. It also consists of all the private households in which people live. The public sector in an economy is owned and controlled by a government. It consist of government businesses and firms and goods and services provided by the government such as the national health service, state

It’s no secret that managing in the public sector differs from managing in the more flexible environment of the private sector. Often the environments in which public sector managers operate can cause it to be difficult to succeed. Public organizations are highly-visible environments and managers need public sector employees to be highly productive and engaged if they are to succeed. Understanding what motivates employees is vital in attempting to yield a high level of productivity from them. There are many theories that lead us to believe that an employee’s motivation level is directly related to the employee’s level of productivity and engagement. So then what motivates a workforce as a whole, each individual, and does employee motivation vary between public and private organizations?

George Boyne in his article “Human resource management in the Public and private sectors: An empirical comparison” explains with empirical evidence how even though private and public sector management differs in service ethos but this difference is significant which impacts the tradition, culture and practises of both the sectors. Over the past two decades many different interpretations and perceptions have come into play on the similarities and differences between private and public sector management.
