Unit 6 discussion Freedom of Speech
13130Oftentimes, organizations and governments feel that they can keep information secure by silencing anyone who learns the secret. Here is a legal case involving just that, as well as raising questions about freedom of speech. The students, in this case, were doing a team project for a class with a well-respected professor who is an expert in information security. Do some additional reading about the case before formulating your answer and providing support for your position.
In 2008, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) obtained a temporary restraining order barring three Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) students from publicly displaying what they claimed to be a way to get “free subway rides for life.” Specifically, the 10-day injunction prohibited the students from revealing vulnerabilities of the MBTA’s fare card. The students were scheduled to present their findings in Las Vegas at the DEF CON® Hacking Conference. Were the students’ actions legal? Were their actions ethical? Discuss your answer from the students’ perspectives, from the perspective of the MBTA, and the viewpoint of our society. Why do you think that the Electronic Freedom Foundation supported the students?
