Blog Assignment #7: Privacy Scavenger Hunt

The FBI is Working on an Updated Privacy Statement for Facial Recognition.
        The problem they talk about is how facial recognition can be a serious problem to privacy and how easy it is to be sent anywhere and how participation of facial recognition involves exposing one's face whether on the street or anywhere public. This problem was for the FBI so they could be able to conduct one on one comparisons with known images of a suspect in custody or people that were criminals. Although they were trying to update this, to what is known as NGI (Next Generation Identification), which would include fingerprints, iris scans, DNA profiles, voice identification profiles, palm prints and facial images, the FBI failed to fully update their privacy statement which would address all the changes made since the last time they made the statement. I think the FBI should be concerned about their statement, because not updating it on time,  shows that they are irresponsible and care about other things than the people's privacy.

Student Privacy
        The federal and state protect the privacy of the students educational records, which is known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This not only protects the confidentiality of the students records but also gives students the right ot view their own record.Personal information was usually through in-school surveys that Congress used to have the No Child Left Behind Act. This act gave students the right to be notifed of, and have consent to their student information. I think this is a great federal policy because it shows that the federal and state care about the students privacy and makes sure no students get left behind.

Cybersecurity Privacy Practical Implications
        Cybersecurity protects digital information while facing challenges because the internet throughout our nations affects regioanl or national borders and do not control the flow of information.
The privacy rules involve establishing protocols. This enforces and regulates privacy rights which regards data collection, use and sharing of personal information. I think this provides the consumer to share what they want to share with certain people or in public.
