Norms and Responsibilities

Mandey Kinzenbaw
The user rights that should be the norm are definitely privacy and freedom of speech.  With that being said, I think much of the responsibility for privacy is placed on the user.  The user must think clearly about what information they are putting out there and where they are putting it.  Not all sites promise privacy and users should be prepared to research those policies.  This doesn't clear websites of all responsibility though and I think the best websites and apps work hard to give people the privacy they deserve.  As for freedom of speech, this can be really tricky.  We all should be free to say anything, but when it comes to inciting violence or hate speech, this needs to be policed in some way.  I don't know if this is being done the best as of right now. I think we as a society have a long ways to go in working together on this issue.
