| Summary/Abstract |
You may think the internet has improved over the years, but every time there's a new way to block would-be criminals from accessing your information or pretending to be someone else, other criminals find new ways to get around the protections. Should governments take stronger measures to make the internet safe, possibly at the expense of personal freedon? Or should we take more responsibility for being on guard when online? This book explains what the dangers and risks are and what you can do to protect yourself. It also takes a look at the arguments for and against limiting internet freedom in order to make the internet safer. Contains case studies good for debate topics.
