social, ethical or legal issues that face information technology

 There are many social, ethical or legal issues that face information technology professionals.  Some of these issues may directly impact a project on which you are working.

Select an issue.   Find a recent article (within the last year) about the issue you have selected.   To get you started I’ve provided a list of topics, but there are certainly additional that you might want to consider so this should not be considered an exhaustive list.

• Misinformation
• Cybersecurity
• Data Privacy/misuse of personal information.
• Regulatory compliance
• Net neutrality
• Intellectual Property theft
• Patents
• Digital Transformation
• Big Data usage

Post the link of that article here.  Provide a short description (couple of paragraphs) as to why/how you believe this issue could impact an information technology project.  Be prepared to informally share information about the issue, the article and its possible impact to project management during our final class
