The internet has open
new possibilities in expressing ourselves and learning new things. While the
internet and social media are great tools to use, they provide ways for
individuals to take advantage of people. The growing technology of cell phones
allows people to not only connect to each other but to their online profiles as
well. They share photos, videos, personal information, and etc. (Smith-Mason,
2011). If Facebook has told us anything, people are filmed and talked about all
the time but it does not make it right.
The three scenarios in
this week’s resources show that social media is an open market where no one is
safe. Although ones permission should be asked before taking photos or a video
of someone, it is not against the law but can cause personal harm such as in
all the scenarios (Audal, Lu & Roman, 2008). Scenario 1 was about
cyber bullying and could have led to suicide (Laureate Education, 2011); which
also happens in cases of sexting. Jesse Logan was harassed and embarrassed by
her photos being posted; resulting in her suicide (Barkacs & Barkacs,
2010). In Scenario 2 a woman’s photograph was distributed without her
permission and in the end it is safe to say she felt violated (Laureate
Education, 2011).
Scenario 3 could have resulted in
the loss of a job or criminal charges; the viewers could have been witnessing a
lover’s quarrel for all they knew (Laureate Education, 2011). All of these
scenarios are taken in a public place. Does anyone really have a right to
privacy in a public place? Yes and no. They may feel they have a right to
privacy in a public place but in this day and age, nothing is private. The
right to speak or make comments anonymously is protected under the First Amendment
(Martin, Caramanica, & Fargo, 2011). The exception to this is when the
defamation of someone’s character is made or reputation is harmed (Martin,
Caramanica, & Fargo, 2011). In cases such as this lawsuits can be filed for
damages.
