Internet Marketing Trying To Police Itself On Privacy Issues
An important element (read: selling point) of Internet marketing is the ability to know more about consumers and their behaviors. Everything can be tracked on the Internet, for the most part, and there is obvious value to marketers and their efforts. The flip side of this ability to track people is the privacy issue and lately the US government has been raising it’s regulatory eyebrows at the online world.
A Marketing Agency Poses As A Police Department
It was only a matter of time before something like this would happen. Social media in the hands of most people is harmless. A marketing agency in New South Wales, Australia is about to enter the pantheon of social media for an ‘experiment’ it conducted. Of course, most who reach this status are put there for their contribution to moving the medium forward.
Wikileaks Sponsor Raided By German Police
The Internet is the last refuge of free speech, but governments aren’t too keen on keeping it that way. The latest offense comes out of Germany, where police raided the home of a Wikileaks volunteer. The police also seized the wikileaks.de domain, which the man owned.
Police Take Unsolved Murders To Internet
The Internet is certainly maligned enough as a place of general depravity and poor etiquette, but all shadows have a lighter side. The Toronto Police, for example, have launched a website where visitors can check out cold homicide cases and provide new clues.
Links To Sheboygan Police Not Authorized By City
A Sheboygan, Wisconsin woman has filed a federal lawsuit against the mayor of the town and other city officials after being ordered to remove a link to the city’s police department website. If it goes to trial, it could be a landmark case settling the right to link. Odds are it settles, though, because it looks pretty bad for Mayor Juan Perez.
Microsoft Sets Up Digital Manners Police
If at first it seems creepy, go with that gut instinct. You’re probably right. Microsoft’s patent application for "digital manners policy" (DMP) technology is part iRobot, part destined-to-be-used-for-nefarious-purposes. Here’s how it is supposed to work: You walk into a movie theater, the movie theater sets your mobile phone to vibrate for you. You stroll into a museum, the museum disables the flash on your camera or disables your camera altogether. You get too close to the cockpit, any wireless device at risk of interfering is shut off.
YouTube Used By Police For Leads
The Arlington County Police Department in Virginia is using YouTube to help catch criminals.
Surveillance video from crime scenes is being uploaded to the Web site in an effort to receive leads and identify suspects. A two- minute video of a bank robbery received more than 1,000 hits and could be responsible for providing a lead in the case.
Police Investigate Another YouTube Clip
When approaching a speed trap, one should always try to look responsible. Put both hands on the wheel, keep your eyes on the road, and try not to make a horrendous squeal and a lot of red light if applying the brakes becomes necessary. Unless you want to get in trouble. But even then, you can do it from the comfort of your home office.
Facebook Group About Police Crashes Falls Apart
A group focused on British police car crashes has existed on Facebook for quite some time, and a number of the wall posts don’t make it look so bad – the original members (self-proclaimed officers themselves) just seemed to commiserate with one another. Others created a sort of game about injuries and property damage, however, and not all onlookers are amused.
