What began as seamy gossip about an affair between a famous British soccer player and a reality TV star has quickly become another test over how far the rights to privacy and free speech extend online, where social media operate in countries with vastly different laws.

Companies that run critical U.S. industries such as power plants would get government incentives to make sure their systems are secure from computer-based attacks, the White House said, detailing its broad proposal to beef up the country's cybersecurity.

It was reported last month that mobile communication devices, like the iPhone and Android, are keeping track of consumer's personal locations and saving that information,which can be accessed via computers by a third party.
