The Game Of Pokemon Go On The Privacy Of Your Own Home

5 Ways You Give The Government Control” written by Kenneth Coats shows how the devices we use daily slowly take over individuals lives. Coats states, “Today, most people in the United States carry a mobile phone that accompanies them wherever they go. We use them for everything...This essentially makes them the perfect tracking and bugging devices”. Although electronic devices are known to be safe, they allow outside people to figure out individuals personal life. Due to the need for devices such as cell phones, each individual has a high chance of being socially stalked once in their lifetime. Coats then states, “Not only do intelligence agencies gather information via mobile companies, but… your phone can be hacked using spyware. Even if your phone is turned off, it can be remotely accessed to recorded conversations and take photographs”. This issue causes a panic due to the wide spread of inappropriate pictures and private conversations in one's life. Even though technology is viewed as a privileged, it is also taking away people's lives without their

With the seemingly exponential propagation of inexpensive digital communications technologies over recent years, the general public is becoming more aware of the issues surrounding information privacy and government surveillance in the digital age. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a smart-phone has to be wary of how they use their private information for fear of that information being collected and used in a way contrary to their wishes. "Leaky" smartphone apps that transmit private information across the internet can be unethically used by government agencies. The issue of privacy is a balancing act; the public usually wants increased privacy and the government usually wants increased access.

Technology has become more accessible to the point it has become easier for government to watch everyone's move. In this generation technology takes over everyone's daily life, where people wakes up and the first thing is look at is the phone. A phone there are many things on it, like text, pictures and videos. Phones can do many things, but there is a possibility where the government can tap into a phone and look through it. The government can watch everyone’s: text, history, private info, and pictures. Government has no right to looking through people’s personal info because it violates Fourth amendment, Blackmail, and Creates fear.

Pokemon Go trainers are finding their way around the neighborhoods and cities across the country in search of Pokemon. The captures have been plentiful and it’s not surprising to see a cell phone out and ready to find more on every square inch of the planet. This craze isn’t for the faint of heart and people are serious about their playtime. Even if that means whipping out the phone to see Pokemon at the funeral.

Katherine arranges her text to put different negative impacts on her audience’s emotions to really show that bad things are happening. She brings up one topic while also including a paragraph about stalking, another about robbing, and one about fighting because of trash talking. By shedding light on all these problems with a game like this is going to get more readers to agree with her since what is happening is illegal and sad. Crime has been linked to this game specifically and unless something is done to add some rules, nothing is going to change about the crime rate. Cross also points out some good features of the game in her article. “So far, it seems like the physical nature of Pokémon Go helps tamp down the harassment that might otherwise occur if the game took place in a purely online space” (Cross). Although she mentions some good aspects about this game, you can clearly tell she believes that this game is still doing more harm than

People’s phones are being monitored by the government. Privacy and unmonitored spaces are not existent in today's world. One good example in today's world is the “Hello Barbie” by Mattel. This “smart toy” retails at 75 dollars and has features such as microphone to listen into little children's lives. The sound bites of the child are sent back to Mattel's headquarters to bexamined so the Barbie can give appropriate responses. Mattel could use this feature for advertisement. They could relentlessly pressure the children to ask their parents for the newest Barbie toy. One hacker named “Matt Jakubowski was able to get into the toy’s system to access users’ system information, Wi-Fi network names, internal MAC addresses, account IDs and MP3 files, he told NBC Chicago. He added that he would be able to use this data to find someone’s house and personal information, and could access their home network and listen to everything Barbie records” (***). This is a serious invasion of privacy and he was only able to do this with his laptop. Anyone can hack into a “Hello Barbie” and find out somebody's personal information. One other example in today's world is the NSA monitoring people. Edward Snowden was a NSA agent who exposed what the government was doing. This can be related to an section of the book Fahrenheit 451 when Montag realizes the hound is tracking him, “Outside the door, in the rain, a

The New York Times addresses that your phone is being tracked by the government, they explain the government supervises through our phones as well through our messages.. (Maass,Rajagopalan 66). This is another example that the government is starting to get more and more access to popular accessories that citizens use to spy on them. “...Google’s privacy protections are false he supports this claim by stating law enforcement agencies seem to have easy access to the data.” (Henderson 72). This article shows how websites claiming to protect your information give law enforcement easy access to invade your privacy and obtain your information. The discussion of power and control of the government seen in George Orwell’s 1984 almost directly parallels the government in our modern day society. Technology is used to exploit the unaware citizens under the government. Resources given to those with legal power use this power with an illegal advantage.The violation of the 4th amendment by the government shows how our private rights are being

Almost everyone in the United States has a smartphone with a camera. The cameras on smartphones are also not as safe as we think. As said in an article by Peter Maass and Megha Rajagopalan titled That’s No Phone. That’s My Tracker, “Cellular systems constantly check and record the location of all phones on their networks – and this data is particularly treasured by police departments and online advertisers”. This is an example how the government can access even our smartphones. They can get private information on you if they pleased violating our right to privacy. Every year, private companies spend millions of dollars developing new services that track, store and share the words, movements and even thoughts of their customers” states Paul Ohm in the article titled That’s No Phone. That’s My

As one example, the NSA has inserted its code into Android’s operating system … bugging three-quarters of the world’s smartphones. Google – or the NSA – can remotely turn

Everyone who owns a smartphone is being tracked, plain and simple. Conversations, web sites recently visited, web cookies, call data, it is all swept up by government surveillance. As mentioned in the article “That’s No Phone. That’s My Tracker,” cellphone carriers responded over a million times to law enforcements for call data requests, and it is later stated in the article that “Many police agencies don’t obtain search warrants when requesting location data from carriers.”(Maass and

There is also the issue of surveillance cameras located within smartphones. Because the majority of the United States Citizens carry these devices within them on an everyday basis, they are the biggest threat to their privacy and rights. As said in an article by Peter Maass and Meghan Rajagopalan titled “That’s not my phone. That’s My Tracker”, “Cellular systems constantly check and record the location of all phones on their networks – and this data is particularly treasured by police departments and online advertisers.” This demonstrates how the government is able to obtain private information on its general public, something that compromises their rights to privacy very blatantly. In order for the United States government to become one that resembles that of Oceania’s, the power they have must be abused fully, not in just few aspects of control such as surveillance cameras. “Every year, private companies spend millions of dollars developing new services that track store and share the words, movements and even thoughts of their customers” states Paul

Bruce Golding, Jamie Schram and Mark Moore article “How CIA allegedly turns everyday devices into high-tech spy weapons(2017)” asserts that the CIA can secretly turn your everyday smartphones into high-tech spying devices. Golding backs his claim up using big name companies such as Apple iPhones, Google Androids, Samsung, and Sony. The authors purpose is to point out the ways in which the government has the ability to watch everyone in the world with no difficulty in order to use anything found on someones phone against them or even to help maybe win a presidential election. Given the popular names and the reasonable evidence , Golding is writing to a well-educated audience with knowledge about the companies and the CIA on the phone spying.

Some apps that do ask these questions may not be truly honest and can be deceiving. According to passage 2 “Your cell phone may be telling tales on you” apps can be running underground scams and able to access private photos and using those photos for instance to exploit you to the public to then have a bad reputation. Also hackers can use your cell phone call history to compromise certain information about you or even who you called and spoke too. Call history can also cause you to being stripped of your data privacy and can be then given to the government from your cell phone provider. All this is being able to take place through downloading untrustworthy apps and then allowing the access to personal information like where you are and where you will be heading to. Although there is a way of stopping all this from happening which may be very difficult to some but is to stop using a cellular device. Which can then be very good for you and could decrease the amount of your personal data being

Throughout history each new-fangled communication revolution arrived with warnings and forecasts of the upcoming termination of civilization as we know it. In Nikki Swartz article “Mobile Phone Tracking Scrutinized," and "Reach Out and Track Someone," published by Terry J. Allen, are two articles that address the topic of accessible cell phone tracking data. Both of the articles list the companies who are guilty of obtaining and possessing the information of people’s whereabouts via cellphones. Swartz scrutiny on whether cell phone tracking by the government is right or wrong, and Allen’s belief that unauthorized phone tracking should be allowed and that law enforcement and government use this information to solve crimes and aid in putting the people who do horrible things in our society away, have forced me to consider how cell phones have affected the lives of American citizens.
