Chapter 2 - IT Technicians Fired After Reporting Child Porn

 Question:

1. What message is sent to IT workers by the actions of New York Law School and colleague even if unrelated job-performance issues justified their actions in firing Gross and Perry?

Do away with to your business that is not related to your job. Do what your professor assigned to you. It maybe harms you or the suspect and it can be both of you. Think a million times if you spread or report of what you discovered. Look at this side, if the school will know what professor did what advantage they will get and especially you must think what advantage and disadvantage you will get if you are the one will report it. 

2. Since the incident, a number of states have enacted laws that require workers to report immediately any child pornography found while servicing equipment. Most of the laws state that worker who reports such a discovery is immune from any criminal,civil or administrative liability. Failure to report the discovery can result to a fine, imprisonment or both,do you think such laws will encourage reporting? why or why not?

That law will not encourage reporting because for the sake of dignity of the company you report of what your coworker did but instead they will appreciate you they will fired you. You did good for the sake of the school but it they fired you as a result.
