This module response is based on the reading - Hackman, R. (2015). "Is the online surveillance of black teenagers the new stop-and-frisk?" The Guardian: April 23, 2015. http://bit.ly/1PoFNN0 (I have also attached it to this assignment in Sakai).

Read the Hackman (2015) article regarding the increasing use of online/social media surveillance by police services in North America. Be mindful of the problematic social issues surrounding this that are discussed, such as the reliability of algorithms for data collection, ethical use of personal information/data (even if it is public), self-surveillance, barriers to active engagement in participatory culture - and more.

You are asked to A) critically and analytically examine three social issues from Hackman's (2015) article that are pertinent to this module's theme of Privacy, Surveillance & Dataveillance, and that (B) can be connected to the discussion in one of the assigned readings for module five (three issues = three separate readings). Remember to organize your response with an introduction, body (discussion of three issues/readings), and conclusion.
