Civil rights

With internet invading our lives constantly new laws are being thought of to keep us safe from cyber bullying and insulting critics on sites such as Twitter and Facebook.  Human rights are being invaded and the internet is partly to be blamed.

With the ability of accessing and creating blogs and videos online people’s rights of speech are becoming a lot easier and more real. People now have the ability to upload blogs and videos expressing themselves about certain topics and how it makes them feel. This ability means people can express themselves and create discussions about life and its topics.

With the internet enabling everyone to be connected peoples safety is slowly becoming unsure.  The UK is most controversial on this topic. This is due to how they are using the internet to record almost everything they can about each UK citizen. People’s information is being stored online on a massive network.  Anything from compulsory ID cards to NHS number. Information about their medical records or points on their driving license is being looked at. Having this information completely knocks out the idea of privacy of information and how we control our information not the people controlling the country as well.

Not only is it possible for people to access information about you but random members of the public are now able to hack into your computers and find all your details such as bank information and home address.
