Document Summary
Idea: people"s actions today against problematic events in defending themselves. Related to our course theme of management and control. Countries around the world combatting cybercrime, within the last 10 years. Comes from the perception of internet for people. Common perception- internet an unregulated arena, controllable, unmanageable. Unmanageable: because of anonymity, can download whatever without people knowing who you are. Uncontrollable: because of the system itself (broad), global. How can you regulate the internet, if it"s in every country, crosses international border. Search engines: control/lack of control- can"t manage your information. Technology has more control over us than we have over it. In the past, internet was different to regulate/control over legal/illegal activities in cybercrime, activities crossing countries and boundaries. Countries wanted to control cybercrime even though it"s coming from somewhere else. Important notion between laws and technology: laws lag before the technology and then it catches up- better for controlling, regulating, manageable.
