What could be more absurd than a
home page for stalkers?
We thought so, but we're finding more and more personal information
widely available to any prying eyes...
Of course, we don't encourage anyone to engage in stalking or other
impolite behavior... but look at the resources!
The following are public World Wide Web resources on the internet. I
have nothing to do with the creation, maintenance, impact, or results
obtained from these resources. I have collected them here to highlight
what's out there. If I have missed a relevant resource, be sure to let me
know so this page can be kept up to date.
Even though each of these resources is independent, the use of them in
conjunction with each other may enhance your ability to obtain information
-- it may demonstrate the greater impact of mass databases upon privacy
when combined or cross matched. You must check each
resource independently for information on the purpose of their
resource. All of these resources can be found by using the "Net
Search" option on Netscape, however, the combined presentation here is to
raise the issue of how our future will be impacted by a database
society.
Without a first hand look at the information which is out there for
anyone and everyone -- how can we gain a true understanding of their
impact? Is it right or wrong? We can't hope to answer that question.
However, it is clear that the negative impact will be much greater if
there is not a mass awareness and public debate of the issues.
We've added fill-in-the-blank forms for some of these resources. If you
fill in the blanks, that information is passed directly to the World Wide
Web resource for direct response to you. (As things change, we cannot
guarantee that these forms will always function properly). Additionally, a
direct link to the resources is also provided. You may find additional
features by following these links. |
