The Internet, Privacy Protection and Anonymous Usage

Book Abstract by: AcaDemon    


This paper refers to an article by Wayne Heiser's on the threat that appears to individuals and business interests by way
of cyber-technology, in our inability to control access to the Internet with democratic laws. The very important idea is that of privacy which Heiser explains is quite a new privilege and worry, not a basic right. At the same time, anonymous or pseudonymous use of the Internet should continue. It is one of a very few private rights that can be carried over into a new age that is bringing to the 'front' our ideas of free will, privacy, expression and access to information.
