READ & WRITE "TASK 11. online censorship and privacy

 Online Censorship


Today, I would like to write about censorship and privacy in the net, I will provide, only my "opinion", and cases, which I witnessed by myself. 

First, what comes into my mind, is censorship about drugs, and something illegal, and stuff like that. 

Censorship

GRUGS 

If you are looking for that stuff, it will be hard to find, in the white web, such things goes under censor, and are not allowed, to buy it freely. 

Usually, you can buy them and things that are not allowed, in dark web, it's a common thing for such web, to sell something illegal. 

I can go on to mention illegal things that you can buy on the darknet, which in my opinion is 100% censored on the white net. But I will spend a lot of time. Imagine all sorts of illegal things, imagine? all this you can buy there.

OPINION

Probably, many of you, are familiar with situation, when twitter and other top social medias, banned Donald Trump, because of his tweets. I think, that is also something like a censor, but at the same time, I count it as a violation of free speech, and strongly disagreed with that. Twitter said, that they banned him, because of the fake news, about his partners, about the whole situation in US, but I didn't noticed anything wrong in his tweets, so by my opinion, they violated his rights. 


Privacy 

I would like to mention, about Zoom, how they violent privacy of their users. 

An April 2020 piece from The New York Times alleged that popular video conferencing site Zoom engaged in undisclosed data mining during user conversations. The coverage asserted that when a person signed into a meeting, Zoom transmitted their data to a system that matched individuals with their LinkedIn profiles. 

The incident happened via a subscription-based tool called LinkedIn Sales Navigator that Zoom offered customers to assist with their marketing needs. 

Moreover, when someone signed into a Zoom meeting with an anonymous name, the tool still connected that person to their respective LinkedIn profile. Thus, the person had their real name revealed to a fellow user despite efforts to keep it private. Zoom promised to disable the tool and remove it from the company’s offerings. 

** Zoom gave data to third parties without users’ knowledge

That's a common thing, when companies such zoom, selling information to someone, but still they violent privacy rights of users.


In conclusion, I want to say, that usually Im not against violent of privacy, because it was before, it is now, and always will be, we cannot change such violent, even if it's not illegal, it's like an exception for such platform, and multi - media.

READ & WRITE "TASK 10. Mitnick formula AND the overall security situation in Estonia

 Today, I will try to analyze, situation with security in my home country - Estonia. I will also provide Mitnick formula of "security rules" and based on that, compare them to our case. MITNICK FORMULA IN SHORT Technology: networks, firewalls, anti-viruses. Training: awareness of different attacks. Policy: set procedures and requirements. By my opinion, Estonia is one of the strongest countries in Europe based on a cyber security, and the whole field of IT. As an example, of cyber field here, 80% of all our services (business, government and etc) hosted in the net. People here, even does not needed to go somewhere, to apply something, they can perform everything remotely ( such as -  apply for healthcare, job, for most of the government docs, and etc) According to "principles" of Mitnick mentioned above, I would like to talk, not about business field, but about the government, and structures connected to that "government" ...
