Homework:
a) Against company policy, an employee put AOL search query data on a site for search technology researchers. There were more than 20 million queries from 650,000 people spanning 3 months. It identified people by code ID numbers, not by name. However, it was not difficult to deduce the identity of some people, especially those who searched their own names and addresses. Re-identification identified others. Which of the Fair Information Principles, if any, did AOL’s release of user search queries (2.1.2) violate?
b)What
restrictions should we place on the government regarding new tech use? When should we permit government
agencies to use them without a search warrant?
c)Should organizers at events which are possible terrorist targets use facial recognition systems? Should we allow them to screen for people with unpaid parking tickets?
