Digital+Citizenship

For this assignment, create a new page linked from your wiki page.

On your new Digital Citizenship page, write a brief paragraph about the concern or concerns raised in Chapter 7 that are most important to you. You may want to focus on the "New Economies" and "New Society" sections of this chapter, but you are not limited to these.

Then, find a current news story that illustrates your point and embed it on your page. Summarize and describe the story as it relates to your topic (in other words, explain why you chose the article or video you chose). Include a link to the original news source.

Google News is a helpful resource, along with your favorite news sites (ABC, NPR, NBC, MSN, Fox, etc).

EXAMPLE:

** Life as a "Netizen" **
My paragraph about being a "digital citizen" goes here. What are my concerns? Privacy? Safety? Ethics? Autonomy? Censorship? It might be helpful to choose a quote or example from the chapter and discuss it here.

India has requested Google to remove content that the government feels is "unsuitable" for its citizens. [|In this news story], Saptarishi Dutta describes Google's transparency policy and provides examples of data removal requests received from India, as well as other countries including the United States.
