Guam § 46 - Legislative Findings and Intent.
Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 46 — Legislative Findings and Intent., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 46. Legislative Findings and Intent.
I Liheslaturan Guåhan finds that spyware is a problem that adversely affects nearly every computer
connected to the internet. Spyware is a catch-all term for computer programs that can track computer users’
movements online. There are hundreds of programs that range from innocuous “ad-ware,” which generates
pop-up advertisements, to more dangerous programs that can record a user’s keystrokes to gather personal
information, such as credit card numbers and passwords, without their knowledge, and forward this
information to another entity without the consumer’s consent. Spyware is a serious problem that can create
substantial privacy risks, increase the risk of identity theft, and cause serious degradation to personal and
business computers that can cost millions of dollars in lost productivity.
It is the intent of I Liheslatura to protect owners and operators of computers on Guam from the use of
spyware and malware that is deceptively or surreptitiously installed on the owner’s or the operator’s
computer.
