6. What are some of the laws regarding internet
and data security
Numerous laws in the U.S cover internet, data security and privacy in the
United States, with the 1974 Privacy Act arguably being the foundation for it
all.
The Privacy Act passed to establish control over the collection, maintenance,
use and dissemination of personal information by agencies in the executive
branch of the U.S government.
The invention of internet changed the definition of privacy, and made it
necessary to enact new laws concerning electronic communications and
security.
Let’s review some of the laws currently in place to provide a more solid idea
of your rights as a consumer or business person:
7. Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA)
Passed in 1986, and while technology has changed significantly since then, the
act has remained the same.
This law allows the U.S government to access digital communications such as
email, social media messages, information on public cloud databases
8. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)
Makes it a crime to access and subsequently share protected information.
Passed in the late 1980s and revised about a decade later
9. Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act
(CISPA)
Originally introduced in 2011
It concerns how to share information on potential cyber threats with the
Federal government
10. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
(COPPA)
Amended in 2012 with changes officially implemented in 2013
It requires websites that collect information on children under the age of 13
to comply with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
The FTC determines whether a website is geared towards children by
reviewing its language, content, advertising, graphics and features and
intended audience.
