3) Point(s)

  1. Advancements in techonology have proven success in curbing cybercrime
Definition

Cybercrime - whereby the tools on the Internet are misused to serve criminals

  • Piracy is an example
    Digital technology allows easy copying of products like music,
    and the Internet anonymously transmits such content globally
  • Evidence is able to support Internet censorship's effectiveness in combacting cybercrime through means like
    1) ceasing copy-right infriging websites
    2) filtering uploads
    3) monitering activity
    FOR INSTANCE, the file-hosting service Megaupload was shut down by the United States government in March 2005 over copyright infrigment

 

Term

4) Counter-argument (in advance) & Summary statement

  • Privacy issues?
    What I can say: does the interest outweight the cons?

Definition

Should the opposition argue that these measures are negative by invading peoples' privacy,

 

ask yourself: does the interest of saving people from minor privacy issues outweight the interest of protecting a whole nation?

Next speaker: Joshua - will talk about p. access.
Thank you/ Cheers.
