Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) — Question 168

Why were the nongovernmental privacy organizations, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), established?

Answer options

• A. To promote consumer confidence in the Internet industry.
• B. To improve the user experience during online shopping.
• C. To protect civil liberties and raise consumer awareness.
• D. To promote security on the Internet through strong encryption.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because both EFF and EPIC were created to defend civil liberties in the digital realm and inform the public about privacy issues. Options A, B, and D, while related to internet practices, do not encapsulate the primary mission of these organizations, which focuses specifically on civil liberties and consumer awareness regarding privacy.
