INTERNET
POLICY AND
REGULATIONS
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION

Individual rights are given up in order to
have access to electronic networks.

agree" button, it's as if you have turned over
private information to any authority that may
access it,

It is important to ensure that information will

only be used for purposes for which it was
gathered and will not be disclosed to others
without consent of the individuals.
E-POLLUTANTS FROM E-WASTE

The accumulated e-waste is due to the rapid

turnover of equipment due to rapid
improvement of software.

Efficient extraction of toxic components

requiring the recycling by both consumers
and equipment vendors are selling must be
required.
