Describe a current IT-related ethical issue: Since this is a paper exercise, not a real-time situation, you may want to construct a brief scenario where this issue comes into play, and thus causes an ethical dilemma.

One current IT related issue I want to discuss is PRIVACY.

Privacy is an Ethical stand, that one owns a property or information that is only used or known by him. In the IT industry, privacy is the restricted ownership of a data, that can only be accessed by you.

This has been an ethical issue in the IT Industry for years, and is always on the increase as technology advance, making this topic a very large one to discuss, but we shall limte our discussion to social media account and email account.

We don't longer have a private email address or social media account anymore, because anybody anywhere can easily search us on our social media account and see informations we have decide to share only to friends. Our email address is not private anymore because most times we get mails mostly in the spam folder from people we don't know and can't tell how they got our email address. Internet fraud had been on increase because our privacy are not properly secured.

Just yesterday I got a friend request from someone I never wanted to be friends with on a social media platform and that was my manager, he saw my nickname, I use that nickname on my social media because I don't want my official path to cross my social path, thereby people with my full name can't search me on my social media account. But because friends suggestions are made to people with your contact, he saw me as a friend suggestions and sent a friend request. Today when I came to work he friendly called me by my nickname, which I don't want to cross my official path.

Another example is the email account, so many people have seen email account as a social media account which can be used to chat and play. Email account is not supposed to be used like a social media account, as it is for important and official informations. Just within last week and this week I have gotten about six unwanted mails from unknown source, which are sending informations that i have not subscribed for.
