Module 6 DQ 1

Individuals share more information about themselves publicly than ever before through social media and
other electronic means. Individuals also desire to privately retain more information about themselves
electronically than ever before with no intention to disclose such information including social security
numbers, tax returns, credit card information, banking information, and medical records. Consider the Cook
article found in the Class Resources for this topic. Do you agree with the position asserted by Mr. Cook? Why
or why not? What obligations do businesses have to maintain clients’ personal information in confidence?
Does the government have the right, in light of national security concerns, to override the public’s expectation
of privacy? Support your position.
