- Why is international cooperation needed in addresssing cybercrimes and cyberterrorism? Please be specific.
- Why are cybercrimes difficult to investigate and prosecute?
- The U.S. Department of Justice sought a court order in 2011 to obtain personal information from the Twitter accounts of three people linked to the WikiLeaks probe, including WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The U.S. Justice Department opened a criminal probe of WikiLeaks shortly after the disclosure of diplomatic cables and classified documents. Should the government be entitled to obtain screen names, mailing addresses, telephone numbers and credit card and bank account information, and Internet protocol addresses in the WikiLeaks probe? To what extent does the First Amendment protect Assange and others who played a rold in leaking classified documents? If you were a juror in a criminal prosecution of Assange, could you find him guilty for disclosing classified documents and diplomatic cables? Please explain.

- International cooperation is needed when address cybercrimes and cyberterrorism because of vast the whole the internet and the cyberworld is. People can be committing crimes from one country that is affect a different country but since they are anonymous or hidden its hard to track down on the person unless there is cooperation that all nations agree upon that can help track down crimes and terrorism because it can affect more than just one country if it were to continue.
- Cybercrimes are difficult to investigate and prosecute because of how hard it is to lock down on one person who is committing a crime. As well as brings challenges to the courtroom and some of the evidence might be overseas and lawyers will need technical expertise to make the jury understand the complex evidence and the process, which could take years.
- I believe that the government should be allowed to do anything they needed to do to get information to protect the citizens of the nation. Reason being is if people can be tracked down based on purchases online or the things, they said on social media to be able to arrest them, then by all means the government should be able to do what they need to do. I would find Assange guilty because the documents they got probably were not to track down any criminal activity and could leak something very important to people and could ruin many things for people’s lives or business.

1. International cooperation is needed to stop cybercrimes and cyberterrorism, because of how big the cyberspace is in the world and all of the types of crimes can come across multiple country’s borders. Also, there have been many incidents of terrorists displaying propaganda over the internet to a limited amount of people, and since the internet is so complex in today’s world these terrorists are able to stay hidden and anonymous to any government authorities. But for the authorities to be able to stop this from occurring in the world, they would need for the majority of the countries to international agreement to stop their terrorist acts.
2. The main reason why cybercrimes are hard to prosecute in court, because of the complexity of the cases can be hard for most lawyers to even have enough expertise in the field to be able to convince the jury of what the criminal did and have them understand it. Also since not all of the countries have come to an agreement with cybercrimes so if the evidence is somewhere overseas it can be very hard for the lawyer to receive and retain the case’s evidence.
3. I think the government should have the power to do anything they want and get whatever information they want if there is a big enough threat that seems threatening to them. Because if you think about it there has probably been a lot of attempts of terrorism stopped because of the government digging very depth into some people’s personal information, but in the end, they save a decent amount of innocent people. I don’t see a problem with it if the government is trying to do is save our citizen’s lives. I also don’t person your 1st amendment right doesn’t save you from leaking classified information, you may be entitled to say what everyone you want on the web, I think Assange should be founded guilty for what he did since it wasn’t his information in the first place, and who knows how he even got the classified information in the first place where he probably did another illegal action to get the information. It makes it even worse that he posted on his website and showing it to anyone who wanted to see it.
