Biometric Data

S‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍tudents are expected to reply to the instructor’s Current Event post and reply to another student’s post. 15 total points per discussion are available 10 points = The student’s original post must: 1) be at least five complete sentences 2) answer the question(s) posed 3) make reference(s) to material in the textbook 4) give your personal experience with the topic If you have no personal experience with the topic, read an article and use that information to directly relate to the topic of the current event. 5 points = The student must post one well thought out reply to another classmate’s posting using at least three complete sentences. State that you agree or disagree and the reason why. Your post and reply should look like the following examples: To earn 10 points full credit for your post -- An example of a student’s response to a Current Event about whether Google’s global operations should be limited by a court order from the European Union should look like this: I think that Google’s operations in Europe should be bound by EU court decisions, but that should not be binding around the world. In order to compete, companies need to be able to adapt to each market. The textbook chapter 9 talks about privacy on the internet and the difficulty of protecting privacy online. Chapter 11 covers international jurisdiction and the need for international agreement before one country can enforce its laws on another. In this case, the EU courts want to enforce their privacy laws on American countries doing business worldwide without an agreement. I personally experienced the violation of my privacy online a couple of times and there was really nothing I could do to stop it. People have posted lies about me and taken things out of context that they shouldn’t have done. To earn 5 points full credit for your reply -- An example of an appropriate REPLY to earn 5 points full credit to this student’s posting would be: John, I disagree with your posi‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍tion that we could have different rules for each market in which a company operates. The world-wide web needs to be regulated to protect the privacy of individuals. If the U.S. isn’t going to do it and the EU is, I think that is good. Plan ahead in case of techno-emergencies and system outages! There are no excuses for not getting a discussion in on time. Do not wait until the last minute to post. The discussion will automatically lock students out at the due time and date. Do not email them to me. They will not be graded. If you miss the due date on a discussion, see “Make-up Points” on page 9 in the syllabus. Your Current Event Discussion #2 Topic Workers Push Back as Companies Gather Fingerprints and Retina Scans As more companies track their workers with fingerprint and facial scans, employees are increasingly challenging firms in court over how that biometric data gets used and stored. Scores of lawsuits have been filed following a recent state Supreme Court ruling in Illinois, which has the most stringent privacy law protecting such information in the U.S. The suits assert that employees weren't told what would happen to their biometric data and that it is being put at risk. Under Illinois's 2008 Biometric Information Privacy Act, companies collecting such data must first obtain user consent, and notify individuals about why and how their data will be used and stored, and for how long. Texas and Washington also have biometric privacy laws, but only Illinois grants individuals the private right to sue. Florida and New York are considering laws similar to Illinois's. Since January, when the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that plaintiffs don't have to prove "harm" from violations of the state act in order to bring a suit - only that the law had been violated - there has been a cascade of filings. Should employers have the right to ask for employee fingerprints and facial scans? Why? Why not? Remember to specifically reference material from your textbook ‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍to support your position.
