Testing the Hypothesis
Opportunity: Apple and Facebook have been violating customer’s privacy making it apparent that higher level cybersecurity is necessary.
- The who: Customers that use products to store data and personal information
- The what: Need higher level cybersecurity
- The why: Facebook has been taking personal information from teenagers to use for advertising
Hypothesis:
- Testing the who: People need their privacy and company’s that people trust with their information should respect that the most.
- Testing the what: We need to try and find a way to increase the levels of security and stop Facebook from doing what they are doing
- Testing the why: Facebook may not see this as a problem because some of people’s information is on their profile but they should not be taking people’s information without their consent
Summary of Interviews:
After interviewing five people I can conclude that they also believe privacy is important and measures should be taken so that we can attain that. They recognized the dangers that can come from other people having their personal information and the untrustworthiness of these applications that house this information. All interviewees agreed that this was a problem for our own safety.
Hi Samantha! Great job on your Testing the Hypothesis assignment. As a big user of Apple products, it was interesting to hear that Apple has been violating customer’s privacy. I was aware that this was an issue with Facebook but to think that my computer could be using and saving all my passwords and personal information I put in through the years. Scary stuff!
ReplyDeleteHey Samantha! I really like the topic for your hypothesis. Though pretty broad, it is an issue that touches everyone's lives in ways that we often can't realize. I would've liked to learn more about your interviews and how your hypothesis changed from those discussions, but overall, nice post! I agree with your stance - the lack of privacy of personal information is truly dangerous - but I fear that it is too late to control the extensive ongoing data mining.
