Internet Infiltration to Our Lives: Is It Moral?
Do you know that everything you “like” on your Facebook profile is being monitored? Do you know that for every Google search that you enter on your browser, it is being recorded and sent to advertising companies? Do you think it’s moral for social networking websites such as Facebook and Myspace to use our private information and sell it to advertising firms? Are internet moguls such as Google and Bing stepping over the line?
Come to ACA’s panel to find out more with distinguished professors from advertising and internet security. Listen and discuss the issues from different perspectives!
Free food from Viztango will be provided!
Time/Location: Tuesday April 5, 6-9pm; Doheny Intellectual Commons
