Describe four ethical issues that arise when storing electronic information about individuals?

Four issues that arise when storing electronic information are privacy, property, accessibility, and accuracy. Privacy is number one on this list, companies storing individuals private information and promising it is safely stored and never used. Your invasion of privacy for the most part slowly creeps up on us and is invisible. What information do we really need to provide and what information should be kept privately to ourselves. Today, digital information about individuals is more than just written data about individuals. This information could include surveillance, conversations, internet searches, really anything and everything. Property is an ethical issue with data storage because who owns this information about you. Can someone buy this property without your permission or retrieve it for free or illegally? Electronic property can be duplicated and dispersed to many different platforms without the property owner approving or having any knowledge. Accessibility with storing electronic information about individuals should hopefully be inaccessible, but that isn’t always the case. Companies get their data compromised, in 2017 four members of the Chinese Military hacked Equifax the credit bureau. This Breach of data resulted in around 145 million Americans personal information in someone else’s possession. Accuracy of data storage could be very inaccurate, we live in a misinformation society. Storage of error-free records are used as a reliable source of information by companies. But suppose this information isn’t accurate, these companies are then using trusted data that is inaccurate.
