Question

(TCO C) A poll taken in 2000 revealed that 25% of Americans believed they could become physically ill from computer viruses. People are even less aware of other side effects of cruising the Internet. This includes what cookies are and how they perform. Technology exists that uses cookies to link with personal identifying information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, credit histories, and so forth. If website owners and ISPs do not agree on a code of conduct for the use of cookies, for privacy policies, and for other matters affecting involuntary extractions of information, what may be the result from a legislative perspective?

Answer 1

These day many applications are using cookies to collect the information of the user and use those data to use it in data mining and machine learning and this is actually should be stopped as companies should not collect user's personal information for business profits. This is something government should take action against website those who are collecting personal information illegally. In terms of legislative perspective, government should implement huge fine to those application owners who are using cookies steal personal information from the user. If these rules are strict enough then business won't be stealing or using users personal data.
