About
This course examines that set of ethical and legal problems most tightly bound to the issues of information control. The interaction and technology change, but the core issues have remained: privacy, intellectual property, Internet law, concepts of jurisdiction, speech anonymity versus accountability, and ethical decision making in the networked environment. This is a case-based course on privacy and security in social contexts. Cases address the specific designs of technologies and discuss how different technically feasible design choices would result in distinct regulatory regimes, business strategies, or support different forms of social interaction. This course focuses on specific security and privacy technologies as sociotechnical systems.
