solved After your presentations and debates, each student needs to upload
After your presentations and debates, each student needs to upload a brief document (use DOC or PDF format to upload to Canvas) that states your name and student ID#, picks one representative quote from one of the relevant readings (a different one for each group member!), one sentence explaining that quote in your own words, and one or two sentences providing your argument or spin on this quote and its importance.Below are our presentation topics. And I’m in 2A group.85C (2021) Group Assignment: Privacy on the InternetMobile apps, social networks, internet service providers, phone networks, and others online collect as much as they can in order to monetize such data. The lectures and screenings and readings for 85c touch on privacy as a contentious issue in media studies, including but not limited to questions regarding customer approval (explicit opt-in or opt-out, vs covert or implicit aggregation), advertising models, data security, etc. On one side, you have online media collecting copious amounts of customer information (device identifiers, advertising identifiers, location data, user interests, content you create, etc). On the other side, you have advocates calling for the protection of personally identifiable information (your contacts, location, interests, and other behavioral data, your household information, date and place of birth, etc). Regulatory frameworks differ in stipulating how consumers should be able to exercise certain rights in their interactions with media platforms, but they serve us as starting points for considering consumer privacy protections. Inversely, regulatory frameworks also stipulate that a business is allowed to collect and use personal information to provide the core functionality of a service or application.This group project will have you team up to research, present, and debate the most salient aspects of consumer privacy online. Documenting each of the three steps will earn your group academic credit in this class. Each step will take place partly in the 85C discussion sections and partly in between meetings.Each 85C discussion section will be divided into four groups for this project. Groups 1a and 1b will research, present, and debate a Californian case (or an international app hoping to do business in in California); groups 2a and 2b will study a European case (or an international app hoping to do business in Europe). Groups 1a and 2a will act as lobbyists for an app (which could be a real or imaginary game, dating app, or messaging service); groups 1b and 2b will act as policy advisers advocating privacy protections via regulations.Group 1a: You are industry lobbyists trying to convince the California Legislature of your position (your classmates are California politicians). As you define your position, please refer specifically to the CCPA. What does the imposition of these regulations mean to your users, to the cost of your app, to your online advertising business model? Present your most persuasive arguments against regulation.Group 1b: You need to convince the same politicians to defend consumer privacy by regulating what an app like the one offered by your 1a opponents may collect about its customers. In the context of the CCPA, what expectations of online privacy do you have? Raise doubt about what information their app collects about you. Ask whether one could restrict the collection of this information using technical means. Worry what the company might do with the information it collects about users. Address their arguments against regulations impacting the app.Group 2a: You are industry lobbyists trying to convince a European Legislature of your position (your classmates are European politicians). As you define your position, please refer to the GDPR. What does the imposition of these regulations mean to your users, to the cost of your app, to your online advertising business model? Present your most persuasive arguments against regulation.Group 2b: You need to convince the same politicians to defend consumer privacy by regulating what an app like the one offered by your 2a opponents may collect about its customers. In the context of the GDPR, what expectations of online privacy do you have? Raise doubt about what information their app collects about you. Ask whether one could restrict the collection of this information using technical means. Worry what the company might do with the information it collects about users. Address arguments against regulations impacting the app.Each group will use the week eight discussion section to start researching the resources provided, and to prepare a persuasive presentation for the following week (but you will probably want to continue doing some of this work between meetings). Each five-minute presentation in the subsequent discussion section(s) will be debated with the others in your section; to make this possible, presentations need to be both very succinct and very well informed. Your group’s grade on this assignment depends on your preparation, presentation, and discussion performances, so make sure all members of your group contribute in ways the TA can recognize. Please note: your TA may decide to schedule presentations and debates either all in week 9, or half in week 9 and half in week 10.Resources- News CoverageCory Doctorow, “The Curious Case of Internet Privacy (Links to an external site.),†MIT Technology Review (June 6, 2012)Cameron F.
