Privacy is mentioned in the Bill of Rights, but which amendment does Internet privacy fall under. On the site “The Right of Privacy” we read that “The American Constitution does not contain any express right to privacy” (n. pag.). Freedom of religion is given to us in the First Amendment. The Fourth Amendment protects you from searches and seizures unless officers have a warrant. The Fifth Amendment gives us the right to interpret the first eight amendments in a way that protects the people. Since the Internet was not created until the end of the 20th century, we would have to introduce another amendment or it is already covered in what the first nine amendments say. Even though the Bill of Rights gives us the right to privacy, many people can easily access the Internet and it can be hacked to discover important private information about anyone. People all over the world access the Internet, and when private information is posted online a person will be able to view that information regardless of what privacy setting a person may use. In American Privacy, Fredrick S. Lane states, “The growth of the World Wide Web, and especially social networking sites, has greatly exacerbated the commercial use of personal information, for several reasons” (p. 232-233). Lane states that when information is published on the web it has a global audience (p. 233). So it is not the same as placing an ad in a local newspaper. When information is published on the web, not only you and your friends can view them, but also the world. In The Right to Privacy, Ellen Alderman and Caroline Kennedy discuss: “On the privacy side of the equation is the deep belief that people should be judged solely on the quality of their work” (p. 275) . By... means of paper... to protect a person's information you need to use the right techniques every time you upload information to the web for all the world to see. The World Wide Web is truly for the entire world. References Alderman, E. & Kennedy C. (1995). The right to privacy. New York: Alfred A Knopf, INC.Cate, Fred H. (1998).
