Terraria: 1.1 Let’s Play #17: No More SOPA!

Terraria: 1.1 Let's Play #17: No More SOPA!(This game is owned by Re-Logic) So I heard about this SOPA (Stop Online Privacy Act) because my subscriptions got hate videos about it. I heard from Mateo it’s trying to censor the internet and block websites including YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter! I started doing Let’s Plays, and they started making the decision to stop online privacy!? And Mateo also says it may be because YouTube partners have ads in their videos for games that’s not theirs! Mateo says I didn’t have permission to make Terraria videos, so what do I have to do? Put in every one of my descriptions “This game was owned by Re-Logic”? SOPA must be stopped! I bet there are already a billion haters of that already.

European Court: ISPs Can’t Spy On Users

European Court: ISPs Can't Spy On UsersBY JIM FLINK ANCHOR Is it a consumer victory? Or a slam against companies trying to protect intellectual property? A European court has ruled Internet Service Providers — must give consumers more information on everything from blocking access, to slow service speeds, and more. Boing Boing has details. “The European Court of Justice has issued a ruling that it is illegal for EU nations to spy on users with national censorship firewalls used to block entire websites accused of violating copyright. The Court held that blocking whole sites invades user privacy and restricts access to legitimate content and is an undue burden on free speech.” CNET calls the ruling — good news from Europe. Noting, companies have long tried to force ISPs into policing the web. “Record labels, film studios, and

Online Privacy: Internet Protocol with Tish

Online Privacy: Internet Protocol with TishIt used to be that when I wanted some privacy, I would go for a walk on the beach, hang-out at home, or even simply put on headphones with my favorite music and crash on my living room floor. That was all it took. Privacy was simple and easy. It was anywhere I wanted it to be. But somehow along the way, privacy became a much more complicated thing. It now is elusive. Unattainable. Virtually impossible to find and/or fully enjoy. I don’t even know what privacy means anymore. Every time I attempt to have a private moment, I seem to get distracted, interrupted or somehow called back to the world I am trying to take a break from. Electronic messengers beep — signaling the arrival of a new email message, text, tweet, voicemail, request for a video chat — or even a local weather alert. My smar

Privacy invasion

Privacy invasionInvasion of privacy is the intrusion into the personal life of another, without just cause, which can give the person whose privacy has been invaded a right to bring a lawsuit for damages against the person or entity that intruded. It encompasses workplace monitoring, Internet privacy, data collection, and other means of disseminating private information. Celebrities are not protected in most situations, since they have voluntarily placed themselves already within the public eye, and their activities are considered newsworthy. However, an otherwise non-public individual has a right to privacy from: a) intrusion on one’s solitude or into one’s private affairs; b) public disclosure of embarrassing private information; c) publicity which puts him/her in a false light to the public; d) appropr
