Right to Be Forgotten
The Right to Be Forgotten is a concept that allows individuals to have personal data erased from internet records or databases. Media ethics examines the balance between such privacy rights and the public interest in information access.
Public Space Surveillance
Public space surveillance has grown with technologies like facial recognition. Questions in media ethics surround consent, the chilling effect on freedom, and the potential for profiling or discrimination.
Social Media and Consent
Social Media platforms often utilize user data for targeted content without explicit consent. Media ethics promotes transparency and meaningful consent in social media's data use.
Data Mining
Data Mining refers to the process where technology is used to analyze large datasets to discover patterns and information, especially about individuals. In media ethics, this process raises concerns regarding consent, transparency, and potential misuse of personal information.
Surveillance Capitalism
Surveillance Capitalism refers to the monetization of data collected through surveillance, often without explicit user consent. Media ethics questions the implications for privacy rights and the power imbalance between data collectors and consumers.
Predictive Policing
Predictive Policing uses data analysis to anticipate criminal activity. Media ethics questions the potential for biased data leading to discrimination and the invasion of privacy in surveillance techniques.
Consent Models in Data Collection
Consent Models determine how users' information can be collected and used. Media ethics involves ensuring informed consent and understanding the fine line between legitimate data practices and exploitation of users.
Personalization vs. Privacy
The dichotomy between personalization of services and privacy concerns the trade-off between tailored experiences and the amount of data shared. Media ethics highlights the need for clarity and user control in this exchange.
Cookie Policies
Cookie Policies govern how websites can use cookies to track user behavior. Media ethics revolves around navigating user consent, transparency, and the balance between personalization and privacy invasion.
Encryption
Encryption is the practice of converting information into a code to prevent unauthorized access. Media ethics evaluates encryption as both a tool for privacy protection and a potential barrier in law enforcement and surveillance.
Digital Literacy and Privacy
Digital Literacy relates to understanding how personal information can be managed and protected online. Media ethics emphasizes the importance of educating users about privacy settings and potential data vulnerabilities.
Mass Surveillance
Mass Surveillance refers to the large-scale monitoring of populations. Media ethicists scrutinize the justification of surveillance under the guise of national security versus the erosion of civil liberties and privacy.
Location Tracking
Location Tracking technology can compromise user privacy. Media ethics calls for discussions about the extent of tracking, the consent process, and how location data is used or shared.
Anonymization in Data
Anonymization involves stripping personal data of identifiable features. Media ethicists advocate for strong anonymization techniques to protect privacy while still allowing data to be useful for analysis and decision-making.
Cybersecurity Measures
Cybersecurity Measures are actions taken to protect data from threats. From a media ethics standpoint, ensuring user privacy must be balanced with the need for security and potential surveillance measures.
Ephemeral Messaging
Ephemeral Messaging, where messages are designed to disappear after viewing, interacts with media ethics in debates on privacy, accountability, and how it changes communication norms.
Information Privacy
Information Privacy involves the handling of sensitive data and an individual's rights to control their personal information. Media ethics promotes responsible practices to protect individuals from harm due to exposure or data breaches.
CCTV and Privacy
The usage of CCTV presents a tension between security interests and personal privacy. Media ethicists debate the extent to which surveillance can be justified and the need for legislation that protects individual privacy.
Biometric Data
Biometric Data, like fingerprints and facial recognition, raises media ethics questions about the balance between the benefits of security and potential privacy infringements or misuse.
Digital Footprints
Digital Footprints refer to traces individuals leave online through activities and communication. Media ethics concerns include privacy rights, the permanence of online information, and its potential use or misuse.
