Civil Rights

Civil Righs and how they are affected by IT is a serious issue in modern society. as technology becomes more prevelant, technology to monitor people becomes more and more available, such as sattelites and GPS allowing criminals to be tracked, causing the debate of privacy versus security to always be at the forefront of people's minds.

The issue sometimes occurs with your information, and the rights you have to it, as your information is stored by a number of agencies, from the NHS to the DVLA. This has worrying implications, as your rights to that information are not always entirely clear. This issue is made a lot worse with IT, as many websites keep databases of your information, often having worrying things hidden in their terms of service.
As IT evolves and it becomes easier and easier to store and access information, the striuggle of privacy and security becomes ever more prevelant, with no real victors,
