Internet Privacy and Harrasment Case Discussed

I always find articles that discuss internet cases interesting because a lot of times these cases are setting precedents to rules regarding internet conduct. In the age of the internet, rules and restrictions will need to catch up with the growing use of the internet in manners that are legal, illegal, appropriate, disparaging and compromising to individual's safety and privacy. It's fascinating to see how our legal system is going to try and catch up with what's happening in the age of the internet and as a journalist how you cover these stories.

  1. I too like these stories. Google is the epic center of these privacy cases as it keeps pushing the privacy envelope, not just here in the US, but also in Europe and China. Legal and cultural definitions of privacy vary from country to country.
