Social Networks & Privacy
Posted on January 23rd, 2010 No commentsThe Internet has for a considerable significant time been the true test of ‘freedom of speech.’ But at what price to many unsuspecting individuals? Sometimes famous personalities are the targets of Internet video leaks that are quickly propagated across the globe by method of sites like YouTube, whose links are easily promoted on social network profiles such as MySpace and Facebook. But nearly as often, celebrities are made by the uploading of embarrassing videos of common citizens, which are then electronically disseminated and blogged and thus transmitted like wildfire to the four corners of the world. The infamy which comes from lots of these videos or photos being piped through so effortlessly can be deeply upsetting to the personalities who are exploited by their being passed around. But who is to be held responsible? A person can’t be held to the responsible merely for passing onward an email or posting a public link to their Facebook profile.
The Internet and social networking sites are simply a more with the times channel by means of which the diffusion of information has been made more accessible. As luck would have it, or fortunately, calling on every person with access to a computer a certified journalist with the capacity to reach millions of audiences the world over. So it is not the social networks that are to be answerable for this invasion of privacy, but society itself. Social culture flourishes on the passing around of gossip and information sharing. So long as you are not the subject, you have no objections forwarding that embarrassing video of a poor kid cavorting around his room making believe to be a rebel fighter from Star Wars (The young man is at present in therapy and has given up on his education, on the off chance that you were wondering). Websites such as TMZ.com survive only thanks to human longing for salacious garbage and celebrity scandal.
In the same way, we must be aware of the Internet’s limitlessness, and the nonviability of control over its content. In today’s times, one must know that anything they do could be broadcast within seconds. With digital cameras, mobiles with movie-making capability and immediate access to YouTube and Facebook, something you do could be disseminated to your friends and strangers equally well live-action. We need to redefine what is intimate and what is public, as it is no more safe to take for granted that all we do will remain in our hands. Modern methods have a trajectory of their own, and the Internet is a typical example something that can easily slip away from its original use and find many more functions as long as the masses encourage it.
