Social Networks & Privacy
The Internet has for a considerable significant period been the true test of ‘freedom of speech.’ But at what price to large numbers of unworldly people? Sometimes celebrities are the targets of Internet video disclosures that are quickly spread all over the globe by method of Internet services like YouTube, whose links are effortlessly advertised on social network profiles such as MySpace and Facebook. But nearly as frequently, celebrities are created by the uploading of embarrassing videos of common citizens, which are then electronically disseminated and posted and thus spread like wildfire to each end of the world. The notoriety which results from lots of these videos or pictures being piped through so effortlessly can be mortifying to the individuals who are exploited by their being passed around. But who is to be held responsible? an individual can’t be held to the responsible simply for forwarding an email or posting a public link to their Facebook profile.
The Internet and social networking sites are simply a more modern channel through which the spread of data has been made more accessible. Unfortunately, or fortunately, calling on every person with access to a computer a certified reporter with the ability to reach large numbers of audiences the globe over. So it is not the social networks that are responsible for this invasion of personal rights, but the community at large itself. Social culture thrives on the passing around of tattle and information sharing. So long as you are not the injured, you have no objections passing on that humiliating video of a poor boy cavorting around his room pretending to be a rebel fighter from Star Wars (The young man is currently in therapy and has left school, in case you were wondering). Websites such as TMZ.com are in business only because of human longing for salacious trash and celebrity scandal.
Similarly, we must understand the Internet’s infinite possibility, and the nonviability of control over its material. In this day and age, one must be aware that anything they do could be broadcast within seconds. With digital cameras, phones with video capability and instant access to YouTube and Facebook, something you do could be passed around to your buddies and strangers equally well as it is happening. We must redefine what is private and what is public, as it is no longer safe to take for granted that everything we do will stay in our hands. Modern methods have a trajectory of their own, and the Internet is a typical of something that can easily steer away from its original use and obtain many more purposes as long as the multitudes encourage it.
