I am going to give you some insight about "Cyber Liability Insurance" and how essential it is. As you know almost all the businesses create own web site in order to benefit from advantage of cyber space in their activities,and somehow using Internet became an important and necessary daily activity. In spite of all the obvious benefit of cyber space , businesses face some in this context.

Data is a Colorful Gold that must be protected

As you know data is considered as raw material which convert to information and then it becomes in a meaningful form that shows something. There are so many businesses that use data for finding hidden needs and new trends in order to build new values into the marker and,so become successful businesses. Thus ,we can say data is very important and valuable resource for businesses,and I call it "Colorful Gold" ,because it could be about anythings , anywhere and any time.

One the other hand data create power as Sergey Brin and Larry Page , co founder of Google ,are the fifth most powerful people in the world according to Forbes magazine .Definitely everyone wants to keep its own valuable things and data (Colorful Gold) is a valuable things that need protection ,especially on the Internet which become as a huge pool of data and information.

Advertisement on Cyberspace and Need for Regulation

Advertisement on the Internet is Widely exercised by almost every businesses and they can introduce and sell their product by using Internet.At the same time customer can easily gather information about almost any product and services by just typing the name of products and services on any Internet search Engine.As far as advertisement on th Internet concern there are some issue that must be addressed,for example you can see different ads about Beauty products , Health product ,Sex enhancement and so many other products .

Obviously these products can affect human health and just imagine if and just if these products wouldn't be standard and authorized ,then what would be happen for people who use them.So , I think it is necessary to regulate those Internet ads that related to human health in order to prevent any potential health problem.

Love in Cyberland

In this post I want to write something about love in cyber space which is quite common these days. As I remember when I was 15 , people use different tools such as mail and phone to contact with their partner ,and in some cases they even used those tools to find a love partner. But in this time Internet dominated all the communication tools and use in many purposes ,especially it is being more used by people to find a partner either for a short or long time. That 's why we can say technology always change the way of finding love partner time to time ,however it creates some issues that must be addressed.

For example ,there are lots of chart rooms and online dating sites that user can find a partner by using them ,they can put their pictures , anthropometric information ,ideas and so on and so far,but the issue is how those information are reliable? Since anyone can put fake information on the Internet to device other people with any intention,you now why ,because this is a cyberland and anything could be unreal ,that's why love in cyberland is riskier than real world.

AMC files Rs 10-cr defamation against Canadian national

I read a news related to defamation today ,and found it useful to share with you.It is about an Indian corporation that filed lawsuit against Canadian activist ,Lisa Warden for putting a video clip on You tube that damaged its reputation.

Lisa Warden,an animal rights activist , criticized Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) with putting a video clip that shows how they catch dogs by using Iron tongs . She believed using Iron tongs for catching dogs is dangerous for the dogs,while AMC argue that she crashed out its image .

Personally, I didn't watch this clip and have no idea about dog catching with any tools ,but just imagine that if a member of India's parliament put this video clip on YouTube,anyone couldn't sue him or her and it could be completely legal. I would say poor animals who don't have a parliament to do some benefit for them in any part of the world.

Kids and Internet

As Internet become main communication and also entertainment tools ,it lures more group of people especially children who naturally have more curiosity to discover new things ,and Internet has plenty of good and bad things for them . So ,there is always concern about bad thing for children on the Internet . According to survey by Symantec lab ,children spent about 11.4 hour per week in 2010 which is 10 percent more than last year that shows children have been absorbed by Internet attractiveness.

According to another study in New Zealand, more than one third of New Zealand children have seen violent and nude image on the Internet ,while New Zealand parent are more concern about their children online habit (84 per cent compared with 71 per cent worldwide).I believe that it is serious concern which needs not only do parents pay attention to their children's online behavior,but also governments have to find an implement a proper solution for overcoming this problem.

As you know Internet became dominate communication tools these days ,and definitely, not only it will be used by much more users than now,but also with more innovative application in near future. As a result of Internet attractiveness and accessibility , many people use it for impressing their own ideas in any form,it could be a simple picture ,short video clip ,article ,critic and so on.By the time there is no problem to impress idea ,if there is no violation of other people values. But the Internet is a global platform and when you put your ideas users can access to your ideas around the world,however the issue of censorship in some part of the world maybe denied Internet users access to your ideas if it violated either moral and ethical value or legal and political issues.Now ,an important question must be addressed ;what is the boundaries of freedom of speech on the Internet? The answer couldn't be as short as its question,because there is different religions ,ethics ,legal and political issues in each part of the world,so something could be legal in some part ,while it is considered as a crime in another part .Thus ,freedom of speech on the Internet is an important issue that must be considered for anyone who want to impress own ideas on the Internet.
