Draft: Annotated Bibliography

No Spying!

It has been found that government agencies have the right to invade anyone’s action as
the browse the internet. They say it helps to protect against issues like possible child sex
offenders or national security issues. However, this does technically break the Fourth
Amendment of the US Constitution, which states that we have the right to privacy. Through
research it has been discovered that internet users feel negative about the surveillance, but don’t
have the will power or the resources to protest it. The problem that internet users now face is that
websites are implementing a surveillance system, which allow them to collect personal data, and
some even sell it to others for financial gain. There are both positive and negative effects of the
monitoring systems and those effects can alter the future of internet laws.

The information was first published on February 18, 2014 and it was revised. My topic
will require that I use current information since the internet is something new to the world and is
changing every day. The information is related to my topic and the intended audiences will be
those learning about how to protect their children while they browse the internet. The level of the
information is above average because it has some terms related to the field that people not in that
field would understand. This source will help in my persuasive based on the other sources I plan
on using or seen. I would be most comfortable citing this source because of it being peer review
and the article being published to a scholarly journal. The article has many authors and one of
them is Bernard Gallagher. Some of the authors come from universities and Shane Balfe works
with internet security. I do believe the authors are qualified to write on the topic and there is an
email to contact them. The url being a doi it certainly shows that this source is professional and
credible. The article is unbiased and was written to inform the audience about protecting their
children from internet sex offenders. The grammar has little to no mistakes because of the
number of authors and it being reviewed. The information is also supported by evidence. The
article is fact and is impartial, so no bias or other influences.
This article is about protecting children from child sex offenders and issues involving
online security. This is a credible article that discusses current issues about the lack of security
services and is well written by many authors from different universities and one working on
internet design related works. I felt that the intended audience was parents and those working in
the field involving things about the internet. This is like the second source cited. They both
discuss the design of online security and how they are areas that can be improved for its users.
This work will help show the flaws in the design of online security and support the other side of
the debate. I am siding with the side that wants more security that doesn’t involve monitoring
and/ or collecting data for personal gain. The information about fighting against child sex
offenders will be prove beneficial to the opposing side of the debate.

The information was first published on June 2, 2016 and then published in a journal on
April 2017, so revision was necessary to publish on the two platforms. The information that I
would need has to be current and because the internet was made in 1990, I would need
information from the present to ten years ago since that is when major changes to the internet
occurred. The intended audience of this article would be those working in the computer science
or other related areas, and even those seeking human rights online. The information may have
some terms related on the computer science field, but I am able to understand most of it, so I am
able to comfortably cite this source. The authors are Corinne Cath and Luciano Floridi and Cath
has an email for anyone wanting to contact them. They both are from the University of Oxford
and attended the Oxford Internet Institute, so they will have expert knowledge on things related
to the internet. The article is supported by the internet and seems to be unbiased. There are also
little to none grammatic errors, which makes it easy to read and understand the message they are
trying to convey. The purpose of this article is to inform the readers about the structure of the
internet as they input what they believe and where they side on the debate of including human
rights with the design.
The article is about the design of the internet through a different perspective and adding
their own comments on what they think should changed or implemented. The author is most
likely credible since they got their article published on a journal. However, even though it sounds
biased, the information is to inform the readers about an organization’s actions and adding some
comments to it to explain them and provide further insight on the topic. The intended audience
seems to be those interesting with working on online designs because this information may guide
them on designs that they will make in the future. This article is like most sources I have cited,
discussing the lack of human rights and involving them in future designs. This article will help
find flaws in the current designs for the internet and possible discuss possible solutions to fix
them. Assisting my side of the debate for an improved design for the future of the internet.

This article was published online on September 19, 2013. The information I am looking
for is current and this article is current when addressing the internet. This information helps
support my side of having freedom on the internet and the audience of the article is most likely
those impacted by strict laws on the internet by governmental official like China has. The article
was written in a higher level than I am used to, but I understand it. The author is Madeline Carr,
from Aberystwyth University in the UK and there is an email provided to contact the author if
needed. The information is supported by evidence and is facts based. I will most feel comfortable
to cite this source because of its credibility and it will help support my side.
This article discusses the issues of freedom on the internet like freedom of speech or
censorship. The author is Madeline Carr from Aberystwyth University, which means that she is
well informed in this area and makes her acceptable to write the article. Especially since it was
accepted by a journal from another country. The intended audience would be governmental
officials and businessmen because they deal with international affairs. If they are well informed
about the issues on this topic, they may plan to something to improve it since they are always
looking for ways to gain more money, resources, and connections. This is different from the first
article because this one is about business opportunities while the other one is about protecting
children from online attackers. This article will help discuss the negative effects of strict internet
laws. This will support my side of the debate and possibly preventing the United States from
adopting those ideas.

The information is about the use of the internet and how placing harsh restrictions will
make it difficult for the digital economy. The level of reading is above average from what I
usually read, and it may have terms related to the internet security field. The intended audience
would be politicians, businessmen, and those that want more human rights for the internet, and I
would be comfortable to cite this source. The author is Hillary R. Clinton and most likely had the
resources to write this article, so this is most likely credible. The information is supported by
evidence and was meant to inform its readers. There are also little to none grammatical because
of her status which possibly affected the quality of the article.
The article is about the uses of the internet and the harsh restrictions that were placed is
making it difficult for the digital economy. This is considered negative for those that are
involved in international affairs. It also discusses the lack of human rights online and adding
possible solutions. The author is Hillary R. Clinton, former first lady, so that means that she
would most likely have the resources to be able to write a scholarly article. The intended
audience of this article would be businessmen, politicians, and those seeking internet human
rights. This work is like the third cited source where they discuss possible loss of international
business. I can use the content from this article to support my side of the debate. It will support
the idea of having too many or restrictions on the internet can have negative effects. Those can
be a decrease in international trade and in the global economy.

This information would be helpful for its currency. The article is an easy read, so the
information is understandable. The intended audience is the those interested in technology and
wanting it human rights to be fulfilled on every platform. The author is Mark Cooper and is a
Research Director of the Consumer Federation of America Washington, DC. The information is
supported by evidence and is intended for those that are interested in reading about international
affairs. The article is well written because it is a letter to the editor addressing a point, so it must
be thought-out to be treated seriously. The information is supported by evidence but is siding
with their point. However, it as points that are supportive of my thoughts on the topic. Therefore,
I am comfortable for using this source.
The article is a letter to the editor, which contains the author’s thoughts on the article
“Internet Freedom and Human Rights” in the Spring 2012 issue. The author of this article is
Mark Cooper, Research Director, Consumer Federation of America Washington, DC. The article
seems biased because it discusses what the author thinks, but I am comfortable using it as a
source because it uses evidence to support claims. This work is different from most sources I
have cited because it is a response to another person’s work, while the other articles are
addressing the issues of the design of the internet. This work explains the other side of the topic
that is not addressed by the editor. This gives the readers a new perspective to see the topic and
possibly decide which side of the debate can they relate to. This is great for persuasive papers
because they have to address both sides of the debate or not it would not be taken seriously in an
academic field.

published on September 28 of the same year. The article has been revised, so there will be little

will be interested are possibly foreigners under strict internet laws, students, or even the elderly
