IoT and social media and ethical use of data

Assessment Description

Although uniquely compliant with current law and guidance, is the collection and aggregation of data from the IoT and social media an ethical use of data. In 750-1,250 words, explain your opinion with supporting evidence. Make sure to address:

1. How has the IoT and social media been affected by cybersecurity over time?
2. Acceptable Use Policy. Although users agree to the conditions of it, is the data being collected used for entirely ethical purposes?
3. User Agreement. If you use something that is provided for free, how does a company make a profit (e.g., how are free products and services monetized)?
4. If companies build security directly into IoT devices before implementing the hardware into the system, the security would be sounder and could be tested ahead of time, instead of building security around the device as an afterthought. Suppose that you are one of the executive members in the company and face this option. However, the built-in security would cost three times higher than the regular without built-in security. Provide your rationale of the decision in light of the Christian worldview.
