the UN Declaration of Human Rights.
Laws promote electronic commerce.

Criticisms
•
Problems resulting from violating one’s
privacy
• can lose one’s valuable information and
belongings
• Facebook violating Privacy Law (article
saying that it's ridiculous that one has to give
up one’s personal information to take a quiz
on Facebook)
• In order to lessen this problem, one should
always keep their valuables with them or in
sight and make people aware of how wrong it
is to violate other’s privacy and
Opinion
• Despite some benefits, we feel that the
negative aspects affect us much more,
and therefore, should be careful sharing
information with others.
• What can be done to lessen the
problem?
• Never save your password on a public
computer!
• Do not give away your personal info
