• Discuss how current regulations that help consumers protect their privacy have affected you.
• What do you see as the primary causes of network threats to an individual's privacy?

• Should personal privacy protection be an organization’s responsibility, yours, or both? Why?
• Identify a single privacy threat, which is the most difficult to fix and propose what can organizations do to counter it?
